Well, I thought I was all ready to try to start my engine (sl350 k2) after finally getting everything back together. However, when organizing one of the tables I used for part of the assembly process I found two knock pins. I am positive that I didn't forget to put all the pins back in and believe that these two extra ones may have been in a bag from spare parts I had gone through during assembly. But... I really don't want to chance it that they aren't all in there. My question boils down to this - is it possible to check for all pin placement with the engine in the frame by removing the cylinder head cover, removing the cam sprocket from the cam, removing the cylinder head bolts, and slightly separating the cylinder head from the cylinder and also slightly separating the cylinder from the upper crankcase? I am thinking this would give me enough of a gap between the pieces to see the pins. Thanks in advance - dave
