Wasteland Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 OK i'm putting a clutch in a friends '85 GL hatch tomorrow. We'll be pulling the engine rather than dropping the tranny. So while it's out I'm doing oil pump gasket and seal, oil pressure unit, pan gasket, T stat, CV's axles, along with the clutch and all bearings and seals in the bell housing. I'll also do a rad flush and ATF engine flush, and break bleed. So my question is, what else should we do while we're in there? Thanks for any suggestions.

subyrally Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 timing belts, oil seals(cam, crank, rear main) clean it and make it all shiney like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 don't worry bout the cam seals and the timing belts, it dosn't have them, no worries, i've fallen into that trap too. It wouldn't be a bad time to clean around the engine bay, i had a whole bunch of dirt and oil built up on the inside of my engine bay, i off road so if you don't do that that shouldn't be a problem, but in general a clean car is an easy car to work on.

northguy Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Spray the lower half of the engine compartment with undercoating to guard against rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
