just a suggestion....

Use at LEAST two pickup magnets - the kind on a "stick"! It was a plumb booger to do through the top - and I could not have gotten a way to see what I was doing on my truck by going in through the side as many advocate. That's not work I would care to do using a mirror, anyhow.

I have one old (and GOOD) pickup magnet that's barely 3/16" in diameter - sub-pencil thickness, with an aluminum stick, that is too nice to have. Got another one on a collapsing stick kinda like a radio antenna, and used it for the backup. Looking down into that dark hole with the pool of apparently bottomless oil gave me the ******. Fortunately didn't have to fish for anything!

Well the 4gsk is in. The install went pretty easy about 1 1/2 hr for valve springs and about 2 hrs for the gsk. Thanks for your help everyone.
