Dave I am not sure in your case, But I have seen other cases where guys doing these seal replacements used the wrong seal or installed it wrong. I meant my post as a heads-up to you so you don't have to yank the engine back out. John walker is the man. I am sure hewould be more than happy to help you. John walker is on this site often If ya can't get ahold of him. Let me know. Jim

John Walker was a big boost in the confidence I needed to do this. We have e-mailed back and forth quite a bit.

before and after
Spent the weekend replacing spring plate bushings. Time consuming but not as bad as I thought it would be.
Engine assembly is going well. Here is a before and a few after.

The after picture of the motor looks great.
How did you get the aluminum looking that nice? Mine seems dull and cleaning doesn't seem to help much. I'm assuming the fan was painted? I've got my engine out right now and will be starting the cleaning and detailing process next week. Thanks Brian

Brian,
The fan is painted. It is a graphite color, I will post exact names of paint tonight when I get home. I bead blasted the fan and pully then painted then clear coat. Valve covers were soaked in cleaning solution and clear coated(high heat paint). I power washed the engine with lots of degreaser. Thanks for the nice words David

it's in almost there
Don't mind the wrong washer on the pully. We are still going through boxes trying to locate it. If anyone has an extra let me know.
