[QUOTE="Patriot, post: 992247, member: 17187"] I didn't need them, but OCD me purchased a gasket, the middle of the CCT bolt, and two mounting bolts. Also get a gasket for the cam chain cover. These parts are cheap and I'm of the school of thought that if you have them, you won't need them. Dropping something into the abyss of the engine compartment can immediately become problematic. Parts wise, there's very little involved. Technique wise, read up. That bottom bolt cozied close to the frame is a tough nut to crack. (pun intended) Tools like curved shorty combo wrench and wobble socket/extension might be helpful depending on what path you take. Definitely cable tie the chain snug to prevent the small chance of jumping teeth putting the valve timing out of wack. (Ever since the caliper mounting bolts had the heads strip removing them, I feel better having spare bolts and hardware around.) best of luck, Mike of Nawlins' [/QUOTE]
