While you got it apart... Going to take a visit up to the bone yard as well and start the search for the exhaust and parts for 'adding' fog lamps... Rick '97 Mercury Mystique GS (Not mine anymore...)

While you got it apart... same as the water pump, if you want to change it while it is apart go for it by my father my engine was very clean for having 104k when we changed the belt, that is there was minimal oil accumulation on the engine for a car that is seven years old and now has 108k, and I do tend to have a lead foot, but I still see a minimal of 300 miles to a tank - 95 Mystique LS - Zetec/5spd - 99 Contour SeVT Sport - Duratec/5spd Official NE-CEG Contour/Mustang Family

Then all the pistons will be in the middle of their stroke and is no chance of valves hitting pistons. Rotate your cams as needed to fit the tool then rotate the crank back to TDC.
