[QUOTE="Panman, post: 1389410, member: 8914"] Not necessary to drain the oil long as you do a good job cleaning everything up good before disassembly. I don't know what your plans are, but I think most of us did a valve check at the same time. Its amassing how much sand and grit get down in the water tube holes and the plug holes. I'm anal about blowing those holes out, even putting water down in the holes and blowing the water out a couple of times. Absolutely a good idea to zip tie the crap out of it, better safe than sorry. I even aligned all of the timing marks when I did mine. And yes it's worth it, getting the cam chain death rattle has costed a few new motors. I have read and heard many a time where folks have skipped a tooth. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
