[Shotimes] rod bearings

What's the part # for the correct EGR gasket you're talking about?  Went
to my Ford Dealer today and he told me the same thing - no surprise.

Here's where I am so far - sorry no pics.

1.  Got some PB Blaster and have loosened 4 out of 6 exhaust nuts so far
without breakage.  Rear (left) ones are being stubborn!

2.  Disconnected battery, drained oil, 02 sensors are out.

Tomorrow: Finish taking Y-Pipe off, starter out, oil pan off.  New
(standard bearings on order, will be in tomorrow).  Trying to make this
as painless as possible.  Used my wimpy jack and stands for now -
definitely got to get the thing off the ground some more!

Learning more the whole time and loving it!  I'll keep you all filled in
and thanks again for all the help!

Kerry

I reused my old one with some Aviation-Form-a-Gasket.
