"So I was Doin' a waterpump."

[Mrhappytuzi]

Yep.. So i started my water pump.... and well.. by the looks of it.. i mind as well do a 60k... any suggestions on doing that?

The video is a great place to start. If you want to borrow a copy, let me know. I could just drop it in the mail if you'll send it back when you're done.

Your going to have to find a kit with the shims. I don't know if you can rent them anymore?

I have the special tools, too if you need those.

I'm in Menomonee Falls.

Actually, mine might be due too...

Thanks to SHO Phoenix Project

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

Yeah.. already been lookin at that... That damn Timing belt cover is an A## hole to pull off..

 

[black92]

Yeah.. already been lookin at that... That damn Timing belt cover is an A## hole to pull off..

Did you take the accessories belt off?

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

Yeah i have everything off now. Now i need to get a new main seal. CPS and timing belt... Funny.. it look like its been replaced before.. but the timing belt is off by two teeth...

oh and btw.. Would i be better off buying the 130 dollar CPS than to buy the 60 dollar one?

Shim Kit

I have a Shim Kit to rent! It was just returned yesterday.
See my ad in the classifieds!

 

[phreaksho]

hes not doing the whole 60k just the lower lol

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

The upper 60k will get done on november 11th lol... when i get paid again.. i was thinking i should have bought that maintenance kit off of shobros... because i think that would have turned out much cheaper... but oh well it's gettin' done. All i got left to do now is to put on the new stuff

 

[dantheman68]

IMHO... cheaper and shobros shouldnt be in the same sentance... the only thing i think id buy from them is their cams... i woulda bought a CF hood, but after seeing jesse's wonderful piece of work (bows in the middle) i dont know if id pay 500+ for one of them

 

[Force4]

buy the 60 dollar one. thats what i did and it works great.

 

[smokin joe]

i would think the $60 one would be fine but i havent had the pleasure YET

 

[dantheman68]

brandon... did you do cam seals too?! i have to do the CPS one come springtime... i hear theyre real biotches

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

Yeah... im gonna try to do cam seals. Im gonna do those tonite plus a front main seal. Could anybody tell me why im leaking a little oil from the exhaust manifold???

Yeah i could definetly tell someone tried to get my CPS off before i bought the car cuz one of the phillips head screws is stripped out to ****. ...

oh and the CID looks like a bitach to replace...

 

[dantheman68]

Could anybody tell me why im leaking a little oil from the exhaust manifold???

thats not possible... you can be leaking onto the x-man, but not from it... probably Camsensor or rear valvecover

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

Yeah.. when i start workin on it again tommorow ill go under and have another look at it.

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

So ah.. Took off my valve covers tonight and noticed TONS of gunk all over.ll must have been the penzoil the previous owner used:dig: haha well.. Whats the best way of cleaning that stuff off.. besides using a hammer and chizzle

 

[dantheman68]

carb cleaner... then oil change, thats what id do

unless its hard... if its gunky thats what id do... if its hard... uh id start looking for a new motor

 

[jcosworth]

Damnn, my 150k mile SHO was clean as a whistle after pulling the valve covers. Shoulda ran that seafoam through it before the teardown. ^^^but yeah, I'd try some carb cleaner.

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

hmm some of its hard... but its not real bad.. The cams look good atleast... but all that **** in there and the damn things only got 75k lol
