Default Austin/San Antonio 12-Valvers

Looking for someone to come over and help do some work on my '97 12 Valve. I'm in San Marcos. I have a small warehouse, compressed air, 120/240v, good lighting, good floor, general tool selection. Will pay, or provide food/beer/laughs/etc.

Need someone who knows what they're doing, with the necessary specialty tools, and willing to lend a hand.

Looking to:
Tab KDP
Replace Front Timing Cover Gasket
Replace Front Main Seal
Adjust Pump Timing
Adjust Valves

Any help is appreciated. I'd rather make a friend, than spend big bucks at a diesel shop.

Thanks

I still need to gather up parts. I bought the front cover gasket from Cummins, still need to get the seal, KDP tab, and VC gaskets. I'm not in a major hurry, and I don't have the money to spend for a shop to do the work, since I just became unemployed. I just need to keep the ol girl running good. She's lasted 200k so far, but I'm running on thin ice before something major happens. I'm willing to travel also.
