I didn`t check. Will do when I drop it to fix a few leaks, someday. Or maybe at the next valve adjustment, if I remember. This one didn`t go too well (see thread) so I was in a bit of hurry to button her back up.

Where are your leaks coming from? Possible cam tower leak? Either I didn't use enough sealant or some oil got on the surface on the 3.2 and I'm going to have to pull it and seal it over. Big pain.

Interesting question........

I did valve spring work earlier this year and had one of my rocker shafts loosen up after some 2500 kms. Found this when I readjusted the valves. Freaked me out a little. I rechecked after 1000 kms and things are good.

I`ve got one leak at the oil cooler, and another one at the crank pulley seal. Nothing major, but annoying. Cam towers are fine :).

What is the latest? How is the engine holding up after a few years?

I just read this thread, very nice work and thank you for the full photo step by step. I'm sure that it will help more than one person contemplating doing this them selves but hesitating.

So, how is she running now? Did this all change your gas mileage for the better?
