used ebay opti
new chandler motorsports cap and rotor
vent mod
new fuel filter
new wires
new plugs
new oil
new air filter

any help would rule! thanks

 

take the timing cover off and on the backside take a flathead place it on the edge of the seal and smack it with a hammer... while your at it get a whole timing cover gasket set comes with a new water pump opti and crank seal also a new timing cover gasket

 

Don't take the timing cover off, if it isn't leaking. No need to fix what ain't broke, unless you like opening extra cans of worms. When I did mine, I didn't even mess with the crank hub or seal, as it was fine too. There's a trick to getting the new water pump seal on. To get the old seal out, there is a slot at the top of the opening where the seal fits into the cover, and you can pry it out with a screwdriver.

dude you are a legend

 

I'm a big fan of cans of worms

 

Nooooo....really? You could probably eat fish for life with the worms you already have!

 

At least for a long time lol but seriously my car should be in driving condition in the next week or so

 

im curious about this can of worms buisness...please do tell

 

i bought a 94 Z all it needed was an opti then i got it running and found it needed a trans so i decided to rebuild the motor i tore it all down gutted the interior sanded down the body basically took the whole car apart and all it needed was an opti big can of worms

 

^ That doesn't sound so bad when you read it real fast! lol
