#741
Well after spending 2 hours cleaning the old gasket maker off the pan I got tthe pan on, tail housing with new bushing and seal on, and the output shaft in. Its all back together and ready to go back in. But im waiitng until I get a new stall so ill get it flipped over and then move the bench out of the way and clean up before my short deployment this weekend.

Between that book i got and 2 specific youtube videos I've posted it was quite easy. Hard part is getting them in and out. And after following Jeff's 700r4 swap thread im glad I choose to rebuild instead of swapping at this time.
I think if i had to do it again i could do it in a day or 2. So far hardest part was getting the trans out....hopefully going in will be a little smoother. I got some cleaning to do underneath the car while the trans is out and also see if i can tell where the oil is leaking. Which I'm sure its the valve covers. And all the typical spots.

There really has been only one camshaft for the V12. Slight differences are due to the way to measure not because any change in lift or profile
Intake opens at 17 degrees BTDC
Intake closes at 59 degrees ATDC
Exhaust opens at 59 degrees BBDC
Exhaust. closes at 17 degrees ATDC
lift is .375.

I rebuilt the transmission mission with upgraded internals and a shift kit. Increasing the stall to 2500 rpm. Hoping to have the transmission back in this weekend and hopefully not have it explode lol.
