Davis, This will be the first time that I have taken a car engine apart completely. The Pacer I restored before was running, I just had to deal with carbeurator, cracked exhaust manifold, distributor, body work, etc. I have a very good friend here who is shepherding me through this project. He gives me good advice about the engine as he has built many. (Even if he is an old bald headed redneck! John, are you reading this?) Thank you for the advice offer, I can use all the help I can get! -Lu- --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Davis Martin <martin- davis@xxxx> wrote: > Lu, Have you ever taken an engine apart before? You might want to go over it in a Technical service manuel just to familiarise yourself with what you need to do. You will need a harmonic balance puller before you can take the timing cover off. > If you need anything don't hesitate to ask. If you get stuck in the middle of somthing and need a coach you can call me on my cell if ya like I will Email ya the # > Davis >
