No 3.0L planned at this time unless I encounter something really nasty that is unexpected. The engine ran great prior to this exercise. Basically the oil leaks, plugwire popping off that one time from the broken stud and the infrequent cold start farts that I originally thought were carb related or this thing was top notch.


Lunchtime delivery... about 5 times as large as the original box that they sent that was mislabeled. I wasn't expecting these until 10/3 so now I'm feeling the pressure to locate a set of cam tools to get this thing done... I'm half way tempted to purchase the spring compressor tools myself to lap the valve and change the stem seals. If the other half of the engine does not have catastrophic failure evidence then I will probably pop for those.
