This is one of the outstanding step-by-step operations on MVS (aided by JDS). Near the end, Ed mentions that he has written up a more condensed version. I can't find it. Can anyone point me?

That's the one. Thanks!

I'm assuming this is valid for the 850's, too—true?

Okay, thanks!

Is there another detailed tutorial like this specifically for the 850's? I thought I'd bookmarked one a while ago, but couldn't find it. I recall a discussion about the difficulty of removing the oil cooler, something about there's a way that seems obvious but turns out to be harder. I might be tackling this on an 850 turbo and it would be great to have the details.
