B series, details with pics.....close enough.
Everything is pretty much the same other than the missing cam.

removing the crank pulley is a bastard. it needs like 500 ftlbs pf torque. so you might want to invest in a pulley puller or get a very high torque impact gun thats what i use.

be sure to line up the cam gear and the crank pulley, also make sure #1 is at tdc, other than that, i can't think of anything else.

Use a 1/2" impact driver for crank pulley.
Dont loose woodruf keys for the crank.
Make sure everything is set at TDC, tension, and double check TDC.
Change your water pump!
Do a valve adjustment - not necessary, but might as well, you did take some tension off of the cam and gear.

Good Luck!

If it's you're first change, you're about 40,000 miles overdue.

I tried an air and electric impact gun in an attempt to get the crank pulley off with zero success. Get a breaker bar and a 6 ft length of pipe or chain link fence post to slide over it. It's the only way I've ever found that works.

i used a 3/4"drive breakerbar cracked that pulley nut no problem.the 1/2" drive has to much flex.so even with a big/long *** breaker bar it takes alot of torq.3/4"way to go.be carefull nut to lose wood key and that every thing lines up
