I also bumped one of the intake cams followers off it’s spring and it took a bit of head scratching to get it back on, but once I figured out a good method, it went on pretty easily. A nice long pair of pliers helps to compress that torsion spring.
Now I need to replace the driver’s side upper timing cover, and then re-assemble everything, start her up, and pray there aren’t any leaks!

Fantastic work. Looking forward to hearing how it started right up.
