Why the ballade gear? It will throw off the cam timing, especially with a new chain.

I do not know how the toda chain will affect the geometry, hence the recommendation to start with an oem tct.

So for anyone who's planning on doing this in the future, here is the service manual for starting the removal. I have not had to remove the head though.

Personally I would avoid anything ballade...the return process took three months.

I had to hire a mechanic to finish the job. I tore my left shoulder cutting trees this weekend.

Update: Car was driving great but I got rear ended this weekend and think I fragged my transmission. I hear a very loud whine coming from the transmission now in any gear :/
