There are three bottles, Developer, bleach-fix,
and stabilzer-wetting agent. The kit I have been
using is a powder kit from freestyle photo supply
and goes by the Arista brand name.

the 85 deg processing times are easy.

developer - 6.5 min (constant agitation)
bleach-fix - 10 min (intermittant agitation)
rinse - 5 mins
stab-wetting - 2 min (intermittant agitation)
hang til dry 

I use a beseler print drum roller to agitate film
tanks for 35mm and 120 and I use print drums to 
develop 4x5/5x7/8x10 FILM sheets on same print drum 
roller. My intermittant agitation is set for 5 seconds on, 25 seconds
off.

Most people don't realize how simple C-41 processing is.
Are you using a two step or a three step process?
