If you have a/t, replace your front tranny seal too.

I inspected the lifters all OK. The roller rockers OK the timing gears and chain look new I did find some surface rust on the bottom of the cylinders where the pistons don't ride like it was the motor was sitting for a long time. the bearings look good. I pulled 4 caps and 2 mains all looks good. I am going to put in new bearings seeing I have it apart this far. and replace the rear main seal seeing that it is leaking a little. I will post a picture later of the part I pulled out. Thanks for all the input every body has giving me. __________________ Al Hembd T.C.#2943 ACES #7258 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cardomain.com/ride/858702 I reject your reality and substitute my own.
