Nixed the JDM engine idea, seems too many are not properly taken care of (right, Brain?). I'll install a salvage L/B instead, after replacing as many seals as necessary to facilitate a pleasurable, long-term driving experience (I'm not drunk). With that said, what seals/gaskets would you recommend replacing? Would you replace the Water Pump? Oil Pump? More than likely, this motor will only come with a 30-day warranty, so...
Here's a list of -all- the seals, please pick which you believe to be the best choices for longevity. Timing Belt (No-Brainer) CAS O-Ring Valve Cover Gasket (No-Brainer) T-Stat Gskt. T-Stat O-Ring T-Stat Rear Main Seal (N-B) Camshaft Seals (N-B) Fr & Rr Oil Pan Seals Oil P/Up Tube Gskt Intake Mani. Gskt. Exhaust Mani. Gskt. Front Main Seal (N-B) O-Ring for Oil Pump O-Ring for Oil Cooler Oil Filter (Serious N-B) Dipstick Tube O-Ring (N-B) PCV Valve Grommet Sparkly Plugs Tensioner Pulley (N-B) Idler Pulley (N-B) Also, I have seriously considered getting a S/S braided line for the clutch since it will be more easily accessible; is there anything else I should consider replacing on the tranny? Would it be wise to update the motor/tranny mounts, even though this car will be stock for now? I appreciate your time.... |
Rear main seal? I always make it a habit to replace the throwout and pilot bearings while I'm in there, but you really shouldn't have to.

Thanks.
I plan to, it's a good idea with an engine/tranny that are new to you. |
