Finally getting around to fix this and I have some questions.
Gaskets - HD or something else. Looking for quality not cost.
Thinking about changing the valve stem seals while it's apart. Again, HD or something better. Gonna have to take it to a shop to get them changed.
Pulling the motor. Never done this so I'm looking for advice from those who have. I have pulled the top ends (forgot how much fun this was) so I'm guessing pulling just the cases won't be too bad. No way to properly torques the top of the rear cylinder in the frame so I'm thinking of putting that back on before I install the motor. Maybe install both?? Advice?
Gonna clean the cam case, oil filter and cooler, thermostat (may replace) and clean the oil pan. Anything else to clean? Cases will be split and all bearings and seals will be replaced. New cam, lifters and cam bearings are here, getting ready to order the rest.
Thanks in advance for the advice. Really looking forward to this project.....NOT!
