Thanks for the videos. I didn't know you could buy the vinyl itself! Tomorrow I will see what a local upholsterer will charge me. You say your engine is tired.

Hey all, Just saw this ad on Ebay for engine parts, the guy had the whole thing dismantled and laid out which was a great view of all the components so figured it might be helpful for folks needing to see the parts and components all split out.
