  1. well alot of what i have read over the net says it happens with the EA82 regularly. i asked the owner about it and he said he replaced alot of seals but didnt replace the oil pump, did the marvel mystery oil and verious weights of oil. the pump seals have never been changed, after 183,000 miles and the way its sucked in on that side i would say its a pretty safe bet, you could see on the old seals before i cleaned them where they leaked and the oil was foamy, lots of air not water, when i drained it after running it. i checked those other cam seals and they are metal re-enforced and arent sucked in, i got the new ones on, i'm sure they might have replaced them before but they didnt replace the oring for the caps. i think they replaced them because one of the bolts is having a little bit of a problem. it wasnt tight and had been stripped but would still thread but i got it fixed. i really need to know if that will work for a stint or not
  2. some one on NASIOC said i should ask here seeing how they are a bit more new oriented. short back story, i have been driving a relatives car while i am up in washington looking for work because my 280zx needs tires hella bad, but they seemed pissed off that i am driving it even though they say "its ok" i am driving it. i needed to get them off my back so i went on craigslist and i found a 1990 Loyale Turbo with Full time 4WD, drove it home for $300. has the TOD and they werent willing to put $400 worth of lifters in it and they didnt know about the mickey. i did how ever and i am pretty sure thats what was causing it because aside fron it slinging oil on the front end of the engine its pretty clean. so i have been workin on it. there are pics here http://webpages.charter.net/niku_sama/Loyale/ yesterday i got the crank seal in and the inputshaft on the oil pump, that seal in and i ordered the rest so i got the rest of the seals today, the mickey, body oring and the cam shaft seals, i'm gonna go put the cam shaft seals on after i post this. theyre leakin a little bit and i am in there any way any way regarging a stint will this work or is the outer diameter too small? i will take the innards of the silver tube out of course. heres a comparison of the mickey new on left old on right
