[tech]: update--moving timing

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

What Ron said about your luck! Phew!

The last one I took off needed the 2x4 in the crank case, cherry red heat
and the heavy duty industrial impact at my friends shop. My impact would not
budge it regardless of the amount of heat I put in it..

More good luck,
