Hey all... I've now pulled the engine for the second time in 3 months. Actually, it was much easier and quicker this time. Before I disassemble it to change out the bearings, I need to ask a couple of questions: 1. Can I re-use the same head gaskets? These are brand new only been on a couple of weeks. If I can, what do I do about the sealant? 2. What all should I replace while in there? Bearings, oil seals, oil screen, oil pump seals...what else? 3. Is the sealant for the engine case the same as for the head gaskets? 4. Would appreciate hearing from any vendors out there about prices. I'll be taking it apart this weekend and hopefully get the parts next week. Also, I am photographing the entire project and will be putting up a website a soon as I can. Thanks Volks |
