Hey all,
Whilst the engine is out and I repair the hell hole, I’d like to re-seal the engine. Definitely leaking and making a mess in the garage as well as the cloud of smoke as it warms up and the HEs cook off the fresh drips. I am new to the type IV and was wondering if you guys could give me a list of... -what seals there are to be replaced? -Order in which to replace? -recommendations on kits or vendors for needed seals? Thanks for the guidance! It’s greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Go to Costco and get a package of paper towels. Gasket under oil fill tower, Under top of fill tower, new boot for oil pressure sending unit...while you're in there, new engine tin to chassis seals, clean the engine comp, treat battery area with some baking soda (mist with water first and sprinkle it with a kitchen strainer), treat surface rust, everything you might want to do will take 1/4 of the time with the engine out of the way.
Do you plan on removing the engine tin? The add on item list has a steep curve. |
