Article: Unbolt the timing chain cover from the engine block. Note that the bolts are different lengths so have a system in place to remember which bolt goes where when you put the cover back on. One good method is to put them back into their proper holes in the timing chain cover and set it off to the side. These gears are connected by the timing chain so that the position of the piston (connected to the crankshaft) correlates directly to the opening of the fuel and exhaust valves (operated by the camshaft) to keep your engine running smoothly. These gears should each be marked to help you reference their relative position. These links are brighter than the other links and are used to align your engine. To get your engine to top dead center, line the bright links on the timing chain up with the marks on your camshaft and crankshaft gears. Remember that the crankshaft can be set to top dead center both on the compression and exhaust strokes of the piston. You want top dead center for the compression stroke, so you can insert This can be done by loosening the tension gear with a wrench or ratchet. Next slide the chain off of the gears.

Remove the timing chain cover. Locate marks on your crankshaft and camshaft gears. Locate marks or "bright" links in your timing chain. Set your engine to top dead center. Remove the timing chain.
Article: Before you move it's important to take some steps which will prepare your cat. If the worst happens and your cat does run away, ensuring that she has been micro-chipped will mean she is fully registered and can be returned to you if she is picked up or found. Most cats now are micro-chipped. Your vet can do this quickly and easily and it doesn't hurt or distress your cat. A tiny microchip is inserted under the skin which can be quickly scanned by a vet. The chip will have all of the owner's details on so you can be quickly reunited. You need to update your details when you move or if you change phone number, since the database is only as good as the information you give it. A more old-fashioned way to identify your cat is to get her a collar with your phone number on. This way if she sneaks off and gets lost, or heads back to your old house and someone finds her, they can quickly and easily get in touch with you. This is a cheap and simple thing to do but it could make a big difference. It's sensible to leave your phone number for the people moving into your old house in case your cat heads back there. Before the move make sure you have a suitable cat carrier that will last the journey without falling apart or breaking. She will have to stay in the basket for quite a while, and it can be a very stressful experience for a cat. Take some time to make it comfortable with her favourite blanket. Let her get used to the basket before you try to get her to go into it. You can do this by leaving the basket out in the house for a few days before the move. You can even put a little piece of dried food in there to encourage her in. Moving is stressful for everyone, your cat included. While all the packing is taking place keep your cat in one room with everything she needs. When it comes to the day of the move it is especially important to isolate your cat from the stress and noise. Consider using Feliway, a calming pheromone product for cats, starting two weeks before the move, allowing it plenty of time to take effect. Keep her in one room, which should be kept closed off all day. Make sure everybody knows that the cat is in there and it must remain closed. It's advisable to put her into the room the night before the move and keep her in there overnight.

Make sure your cat is micro-chipped. Get a collar with your phone number on. Prepare a basket. Isolate your cat from the moving mayhem.
Article: Start generally with arms, legs, torso and head. As you mentally note the location of each component, start to divide it up further to become more aware of smaller details. For example, the arm may become shoulder, upper arm, elbow, lower arm, wrist, palm, fingers, etc. Spend a minute being both aware of each part, but also how they feel, such as tense or relaxed, hot or cold and so on. The purpose is to be aware of not only where they are, but what they are, how they feel and so on, building to a complete body awareness. There is a typical repetition worth learning, that runs along the lines of:1. Head hair, body hair, teeth, skin, nails.2. Muscles, sinews, bones, bone marrow, kidneys.3. Heart, liver, stomach, spleen, lungs.4. Bowel, intestines, feces, undigested food, brain.5. Bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, body fat.6. Tears, skin grease, snot, saliva, bone lubricant and urine. The traditional order of this list seems unusual but the list divides the body components into two classes - solid matter and liquid matter. It starts with some of the most easily recognizable external parts (head, hair, skin, etc.), then moves on to more internal parts increasing in complexity as you go. What you are doing more or less, is a kind of mental CT scan of your body. If you have seen scans before, you see bones, muscles, organs, etc. This is what you are looking for in situ and in action. It may or may not appear visually to you like a CT scan, but you may feel a sensation, or another form of awareness of that body part. There is a host of things recommended as a point of study so you may choose any that feel relevant to you at the beginning and then work on to the more complex aspects. Give each part some time to be studied to gain an understanding, familiarity and insight while at the same time, direct a calm and relaxed focus towards its nature. 1. Examine its location in the body, how it feels, what it is, how it is, how it came to be, what it needs to continue to be, etc. 2. Examine your experiences of how your mind interacts with the body component, such as how the heart changes when there is tension in the mind and how the muscles react when there is discomfort. 3. Examine your experiences of how the body interacts with mental states. When there is tension, unease, fear, how does the body feel? When there is gradual relaxation in the mind, is there gradual relaxation in the body? There are many other questions you may ask in this theme. 4. Is there attachment or any wishes that occur to you in relation to that part of the body? The more sensitive practitioner may find the meditation somewhat unnerving and feel squeamish, or maybe even think it's gross and weird. This method can be used to break down any such squeamishness and other barriers, allowing for a tolerance and acceptance to be built on increased understanding of and familiarity with the body. 5. Consider how fragile the ecosystem of your body is. One example is to examine how the blood needs pumping to oxygenate it, prevent it from clotting and becoming fatal. The blood being pumped helps the immune and healing system and since it helps regulate body temperature, we feel cold or hot when the circulation is not free. 6. Consider how co-dependent it is on other aspects of the body and external facts such as food and water, air, temperature and so on. Consider how enduring each part is, or how much it changes. 7. Consider how many of the bodily processes and parts run and are maintained on their own, independent of us or on autopilot, if you will. The identity has no involvement in running the liver for example, it just works away, even when we are deeply asleep. If you wish, you can spend the entire meditation on just one part, or one group. However, if you wish to do the entire body, move on to the next group: Muscles, sinews, bones, bone marrow, kidneys. Again, be aware of each part as above.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Mentally divide the body into its component parts. Start to mentally note individual parts of the body in more detail. Now spend a moment being aware of each part in turn.
