Well I got everything tore down and went to use my home made tool for the crank pulley, only problem is I was using all 1/2" drive tools and the socket was 3/8". So after holding myself off the ground with the pipe and breaker bar, the hardened steel step down broke clean off. Tomorrow Im getting a impact socket in 1/2 drive. Hopefully that will work.

 

Ok guys, Im at a stopping point for tonight. My question is for the upper drivers motor mount. It looks like I need to remove the cruise control to get to the 3rd bolt, and also the bolt underneath the braket that bolts into the timing cover, do I need to jack the motor up to get a better angle in order to get it>>> Now, part 2.>>> In order for me to jack up the motor, do I need to remove the air compressor and the giant braket that has the bolt for the lower mount. It looks like if I dont it will hit the frame when I jack it up ? Sorry for all the questions, but I really need the advice and appreciate all the help so far.

Thanks for all your help.. I dont see where it was leaking but tomorrow the head is going to the shop for a shave and a hair cut. Oh, does the dist. and cam need to come out for them to resurface ?

 

dist. yes cam no

 

I just had my head resurfaced for the new head gasket and I had to remove the dowel pins, distributor, cam pulley and plastic cover piece behind it and I had to make sure all the valves would not get hit by the cutting machine as well.

 

Im trying to find a new manifold on e-bay and have a quuestion. The one I found has about 5 holes in it to bolt up to the cat, mine has none ? Am I going to have to buy a new cat as well in order to fix ?

 

Do you have inspections????

 

I live in Cal. and I just had the car smoged 3 months ago, so I shouldnt have any unwanted eyes looking in until next time I smog.
