Title: The Demon's heart comes out!
Post by: V8Demon on October 25, 2005, 05:32:08 PM
Brought it to a friend's shop to do the heads/cam/intake/mass air swap.  Decided that there was enough other stuff that needed attention to yank the motor out.  The rear main had started leaking (Again!), intake manifold gasket had a real slow leak.  And when the motor came out we noticed the left mount was bad.  So on top of all the other goodies I have I got a new high volume oil pump and water pump as well.  Pics below.

Already had new ones stored away.  I just swapped em on.  Bill's gonna finish with the heads tonight while I'm at work.  Looks like I owe somebody a favor......  On a side note the timing chain that was put in right when I got the car was trash.  When I redid the crank and rods 30K ago it was well within limits......  Don't know what happened.  Oh well... new one's already in with the cam.
