Re: 98 3.1L top end rebuild (pics)

after you reinstall the heads and intake, take your thermostat out and flush the plastic piece out ... remove your upper rad hose from the rad and point the hose down into a bucket. do this before complete reassembly so you can put the thermostat back in fairly easily.

and im *almost* done.. still got power steering pump, alt, electrical connectors, egr, ignition, etc to put on... i didnt spend much time today working on it.

bout to close on a house, 2 car garage... i wont spend 50% of my time hunting for parts and tools

compression btw was 50-60psi on first rotation, then 168-175 ish on the 4th compression stroke. I had the intake off when doing this, after i was done i put the spark plugs in, easier to get to, before installing the intake and accessories.
