Way to go...great job

[@jmarvi66]

Do you remember the torque specs for the three plate bolts and the three cam bolts?

[@AlexPlatacis]

I do not.
There are many online resources. Let me know if you have trouble finding that info

[@windmill1965]

Is there a specific reason why you did not paint the entire front plate black?

[@AlexPlatacis]

The timing chain cover attaches to the front plate. I did not want paint to corrupt that gasket seal, or risk flaking off and getting in the oil.
