So far so good and thank [insert name here] for air tools. That oil pan has a million and a half bolts. Also, the Haynes manual is pretty good, but failed to tell me I needed to remove the inspection cover to the tranny since the oil pan lip is inside it. That means the starter needs to come off also... Who ever designed that mounting system is an a$$....
I had to stop for now since the nanny left early and I wont be able to start again until my daughter goes to bed. Got the pan down and oil pump off in about 1.5 hours. The seal should take an hour (big hands, small work space), then button the bottom end back up is another hour.
I will be doing a full write up on the rear main seal job, installing a new oil pump (hey while its apart, right?).
Then once my new timing chain comes in (all steel double roller) I will start that job, with a new waterpump (again, while its apart, right?) Hopefully it wont rain too hard so I can get that stuff done. This will get a writeup also.
Finally.... some more difficult tech articles coming.
