thanks R F,
I know... I'm a glutton for punishment!
I've got a warm garage, tools, time, and most importantly a trusty 91 Trooper for the several trips to the parts store I am sure I will be making mid-job.
Good point on the hoses. I am going to keep this one for a while.
Do you know if i will need any special tool for the cam seals?

Oh, and if you haven't already, replace those little coolant hoses, not just the big ones - those little ones are the ones that'll bite you when you least expect it, i.e. by-pass hose, oil cooler to engine block, heater core hoses, etc. Not quite sure where all of yours are located on that Dohc, but at 120k get 'em out.
Do everything while you're taking it all apart, i.e. belts, hoses, etc. that way it's all up to date.
Have fun  I personally chose not to allow myself the frustration, as I tend to start kicking a wheel or mumble choice words, then the tossing of tools comes into play - that, and the thought of doing all of this during that Artic Freeze that came through in February (when my waterpump croaked) just wasn't my cup of tea.
But, I did pay for it, labor cost wise, that's for sure.  |
