mike_sekinger's post in Cam belt schedule? was marked as the answer
The original UK owners manual states 36K miles or 3 yrs. There was a Service Bulletin in late 2000 that recommended the interval be reduced to 24K miles. This was not changed for the US market due to legislative requirements - but the whole cambelt servicing for US cars was done differently.
The 102K miles/8 yrs is for the fuel filter

mike_sekinger's post in Blocking Camshaft followers (tappets) was marked as the answer
I doubt that there is anything wrong with the tappets. When `hard` it means that they are pressurised with oil. The `soft` tappets are free of oil. When re-installing used tappets, you will have a mixed bag of pressurised and empty tappets.

The cross section of the steering wheel is not round - it is slightly oval.
The measurement as you request it is a fraction less than 30mm
Measurement back to front is 35mm

mike_sekinger's post in Oil cooling was marked as the answer
Hi Alan,
The filter housing does not contain any thermostatic flow control.
I've not heard of anyone fitting one. I always bypass the oil coolers when starting-up a fresh engine, but that's just for speeding up establishment of the oil pressure and not normal running of the engine.
