okay, i've got everything i need (i think) ordered for my new timing chain set installation and new balancer and pulley. I decided to do it myself since i have a little extra time this time of year. I'll probably save myself at least $400. I've done alot of searching and found a couple threads that are really helpful. I'm not real excited about doing it but with you guy's help i think i'll be able to pull it off. I put new heads on this brute myself 3 years ago but it makes me a little nervous messing with the timing and such. I also plan on taking lots of pictures to help those in the future that tackle this with little experience. I plan on starting it next week if its warm enough so wish me luck. TIA for any help ot advice.

I saw a thread a few months ago where someone did it and had lots of pictures. Hopefully that is one of the threads you were looking at.
