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) |

Figure out the deal with the bolts, figure out the stacking requirements for the shims, buy a dial indicator and figure out how to use it, buy a FW lock. Might as well send the flywheel out for machining (hopefully in spec when finish) just replace everything...why not buy a set of appropriate 96mm Pistons/cyl/rings and put those on while the engine is out? Oh, send the heads out for a refresh. remove and tap the rear galley plugs. One has to stop adding on. Overwhelming for a newer owner or one with limited skills. Don't forget to refurb the shifter itself. Those pesky detention plates. Hopefully the plate has not worn into the lever.
However, I would do the lube for the gear box while removed. |
