) and just got it in the mail today....oh well
A new crank sensor is like $150 at least!!
I grease new seals all the time. Works great and I think the fsm does say to do so.xise wrote:I'm replacing the entire oil pump itself, i had bought one a while back and just now getting around to doing that and the water pump. I wanted to do it when i swapped the motor out but was being rushed and had my Uncle busting my balls and looking over my shoulder the whole time.
I am going to be putting the cam seals in on tuesday, has anyone heard of putting grease in the slot the seal sits in? I read something about it somewhere else but it just didn't seem right to me for some reason, I would think either a small amount of engine oil or nothing at all.
Make sure you do not forget to tighten the crank bolt. It will come loose over time and mess your pussly up and crankshaft key and maybe even the crankshaft itself. I tightened mine once to factory spec which is way too low (I think around 70 ft lbs) and it came loose and destroyed my pulley, key and accessory belt and burnt a groove into the timing cover. Torque it to at least 110. I do mine to 125 ft lbs.xise wrote:hmmm ok, well I will have to torque it down tomorrow, I did drive it home today so that worries me a bit...not too too much though, I am sure it isn't going to just fly off on me. Seems to be running great, I even adjusted the TPS so that it idles a bit higher...seem like still not quite enough though. Maybe someone could do me a favor and measure the resistance of theirs.
I appear to be down to only 1 leak, power steering fluid, appears to be coming from everywhere so I am going to have to wash the engine bay and throw the pressure tester on and see where it is squirting out from. Hopefully I won't be replacing the entire rack...that would be a sad christmas time

Now that I think of it I think I just grease the inside of the seal and not the outside since the inside is the part that sees friction from the moving part its sealing against.kimokalihi wrote:I grease new seals all the time.
