Other things to do

[Bones]

I've got to remove the engine to rebuild my gearbox soon and I thought I'd take the opportunity to clean the engine and the engine bay up at the same time. I'm going to blast and maybe powder coat the fan etc. I've searched for threads on 'things to do with the engine out' but can't find one , Anybody know the threads location? Suggestions for what other maintenance tasks could be done with the engine out are appreciated. Such as replacing old hoses etc.

I'm assuming you still have the CIS. Replace all vacuum hoses, o-rings and gaskets. There are 2 O-rings between the cold start valve, 1 o-ring between air box and throttle body, 1 o-ring between fuel dist and sensor assy., and a gasket between the airbox and the fuel dist. sensor plate assy. Also replace the rubber airbox to intake runner seals (6) , fuel injector o-rings (2 per injector).

Replace breather cover gasket, oil pressure switch, internal thermostat o-ring, and the internal oil cooler seals. Think 101 projects has these items + a couple more.

Adjust valves.
