Ok guys I found a way to upload pictures.... Don't use the camera link on the top left.

Instead... click on the "letter A" center right side. You will see 3rd in from the right side insert "image" button worked perfect.

Try it ;)

So nobody can see those pictures I put up? hmm that sucks. Well, anyways, finally got it all put back together. The speed sleeves worked like I imagined they would. I ended up using some fine sand paper and cleaning up the cam as well as I could before I installed the speedi sleeves. I ordered all new gaskets from go2marine.com (Timing chain cover, impeller cover, triangular hose cover). All parts came fast and order was very accurate. One thing I fudged up on the reassembly was installing the rotor before the motor mount. I didn't really even have to take the motor mount off the engine in the first place, I realized halfway in that I had plenty of room to work without removing it. Anyway, I installed the rotor only to realizeI had to remove it again to install the motor mount. Overall, what seemed like a daunting task ended up being pretty simple, slightly tedious, but in the end I learned a lot and appreciate all the help I got from this forum. Time to drop some crab pots.

Looks great. Yeah that website does ask you to do more work than necessary. But since you removed the front motor mount you will have to remove the outdrive and realign the coupler, because if the front of the motor is not EXACTLY in the same place you could have a missaligned coupler which can cause a coupler failure. Have you done an alignment before? I think the other guys will agree with me that this is necessary.

Had no idea this would be necessary. Would this explain a loud rattling noise coming from the stern drive?
