I've considered whether I could mount a light and USB webcam under the hood and record them via laptop.  A recording of just the manual lift-the-piston button might not capture enough displacement though.  Might have to do it with air cleaners removed.  Not sure how much I like that idea though it might be okay for a short while.

Exactly what I did.  Wished I'd known more before I called.  And Joe C. has what might be called a somewhat curt-o manner which discourages free Socratic-style question and answer dialogue.

Personal trigger factor here, not meant to disparage Joe C. at all:  I am delighted when I find an expert on a subject and I will gladly overpay for that expertise.  However I expect one benefit of that expertise to be helping me avoid the sort of mistakes, extra expenses, and long delays which I would experienced if I'd just done the job myself.
