Differences between the PDF version and the Shipped version of the Instructions

Yes that is a windshield banner rolled up. My anti-rice sentiments lean against it, but I don't know if I can resist!

Most of the step numbers differ slightly due to:

• Single steps being broken down into multiple steps.
• Multiple steps being combined into one.
• Un-numbered warnings in PDF get step numbers in shipped version.

The illustrations are the same, but the are numbered differently because #4 in the PDF (which actually appears after #8) is #2 in the shipped version and appears much earlier in the instructions.

There are some differences worth noting. Most Step #'s refer to the numbers in the PDF.

• JR's warning about the install being only for "Competent Mechanics" is toned down in the shipped version. Maybe they thought they were scaring people away from performing it themselves.

• Step #12, the lines starting with "*On 94-95" and with "*On 96-98" in the PDF are deleted from the shipped version. I don't know why.

• Step #16 in the PDF is Step #13 in the shipped version.

• Step #15 in the PDF is split into Steps #16 and #17 in the shipped version.

• Step #23 has its' last sentence, starting with "One will be", deleted from the shipped version. I don't know why.

• Step #28-32 become Step #57-60 in the shipped version.

• Step #64 has its' last sentence, starting with "Remove the pilot", deleted from the shipped version.

• Step #74 gets more detailed as Step #77 in the shipped version.

• Step #79 talks about using the "original upper throttle body mounting bolt" for the alternator upper stabilizer bracket. The shipped instructions, Step #82, say a new bolt is supplied.

• Steps #79 and #81 are combined into Step #82 in the shipped version.

• Step #82 gets more detailed as Step #84 in the shipped version.

• Step #99 has its' last two sentences, starting with "Do not overtighten", deleted. I guess people followed that advice too much and these plugs were falling out on people!

• Step #103 has "5/16" replaced by "3/8" every where it appeared. (Step #107 in shipped version).

• Step #114 talks about using "four 12mm bolts supplied by the kit". The shipped instructions, Step #117, talk about using "two new bolts and two original bolts".

• Step #117 gets more detailed as Step #120 in the shipped version.

• Step #122 has its' last sentence, starting with "On 96-98 models", deleted from the shipped version. I don't know why.

• Step #129 is split into Steps #132-133 in the shipped version.

• Step #130 gets more detailed as Step #134 in the shipped version.

• Step #137 has its' first two sentences, talking about removing the plastic sheathe from around the fuel injection wiring harness, deleted from the shipped version. Apparently you don't have to remove this.

• Step #144 is worded differently and provides more details as Step #148 in the shipped version.

• Step #154 is added... Adjust the Timing!

Many of the assemblies, even though they are listed part by part and screw by screw on the parts list, are fully assembled already.
