    M151 new exaust gasket kits--do they work?

    I'm in the middle of reworking my M151A1, It to had a random miss. Nothing too much to worry about. It too had a small exhaust leak. When I get to the motor I was going to add the gasket, It is metal against metal fit. A gasket would sound like a good thing.

    Timing light adapter tool

    If you could pickup TM 9-2330-212-20, and check out Pg. 2-28 and 2-29 they cover timing and show the adapter previously mention in another reply. As for the screws I'll let that one alone, what I did may not work for you or be the proper method. May be some one else is more informed.

    Slave Cable on M37

    If your previous owners were real nice, they may have even tossed out the spacer. If you could get a look at TM 9-8030, check out page 250 Fig. 130. That will give you all the info you need. If the spacer is missing, looking at the TM you can see that it is wedge shaped. The cowl side panel...
