    At Last The Big TD5 job

    Thanks for clarification and answers , I like the chain check metodology...”If it ain’t broken don’t try to fix it” -ish. My TD5 has to run over summer , not that worried, when fall comes time will be right to move into the garage and take it out. It will be my 65 yr present.
