changin opti
ok im going to change my opti next week, before i do it the car has a new water pump so i will put that back on but while im doin it is there any other thing i should look at while i have everything torn apart? you may know from my other post the car is throwing a bad missfire code with new plugs and wires and its still doing it so the opti is next, any suggestions?

recheck the plug wires while everything is out of the way. change the seals on the front cover. specially the water pump seal. 69 has a thread on here that shows how to make a magic marker end into a seal installer. i have one that i picked up on the net that is the right tool and it works great. went through three seals trying to get it on right not useing the tool. have not ruined one yet useing the tool. kent-morre j 39089 and it looks alot like a magic marker cap only way sorter.

thanks man, lots of damn work lol, rims are professionally powder coated with semi gloss, and the side markers and tail lights are done with a spray tint called VHT tail light tint, search for it on eBay, its some awesome stuff http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VHT-N...item3efc21343b

Here's the seal install thread https://camaroforums.com/forum/lt1-lt4-tech-9/installing-water-pump-drive-seal-43601/

More often than not, it's the cap and rotor contacts that gets all corroded and causes the misfire. It would be the same as never giving an old style ignition a tune up for 100k miles or more. But since it's a project just to get to the opti, you're better off replacing the whole thing.
