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) |

Do the whole lot otherwise you will be rather disappointed ,with motor out you can clean it till it shines and improve cooling @ the same time,any seal or gasket not replaced will be a PITA later.
Good luck. |

Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Now is the time to do it all and do it right while you have easy access. Don't forget to do the front crank seal that is behind the fan. I've been wrenching on cars for a very, very long time now. Eventually you learn that it IS just quicker to do it right the first time. I say that not that I'm perfect or even follow my own advice. If you've seen my thread, I've shared recent experiences where I tired to shortcut. It bit me in the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) just like it always does. |
