I nd help in the sacramento area

[Fudog]

Well my problem is the cam seals and front main seal. I have the parts a place to work on it and various tools. Im getting alot of smoke from the oil dripping on the exhaust. I know this is a bad thing. I tried a stop leak type of additive but its not working. If theres anyone in the area who can help for the price of a sixpack let me know, I could really use the help. I dont want to start this on my own concidering there's a real possibility I could completely screw up the motor.
Thx and I hope to be working beside one of you.

I'm about 3.5 hrs below you, but I am in the middle of putting a new motor in mine among other projects and truly cannot give up the time. It is really not difficult, check out the instructions on SHOPP

You may want to offer more than a six pack for the effort of labor involved with that job. You must remove the timing belt and then the camshaft sprockets and rear metal timing belt cover before accessing the intake camshaft seals. The crank seal requires that you also pull the crankshaft timing belt sprocket from the crank.

Access to the rear cam seal requires removal of the cylinder identification sensor and its mounting ring and vane. This seal is quite difficult to safely access.

Removal of the seals is delicate because whatever method you use, you absolutely cannot touch the smooth seal surface on the crank or cams. The drill a small hole-screw sheet metal screw-pull with pliers removal technique works great, but if you touch the cam or crankshafts with the drill bit, you are in deep oil leakage trouble.

You should also have the parts to replace the timing belt, maybe the crankshaft position sensor if the one currently installed is more than about 40,000 miles old, and the water pump if it is also more than about 40,000 miles old.

This is called the front end 60K and is worth more than a few kegs if you are paying with liquid.
