old sub freak

yes to pull the core by the book is a JOB! what i have done on e81s is to use a dremmel tool and cut it out.its still a lot a of work but better then pulling the whole show out. it slides out like a tape deck and slide the new one back , little silicone. HEAT!! do try flushing first. i've saved a few that way .stay warm todd duh! i was trying to answer the guy with heater core problem. live and learn

what worked for me was to remave the pins and drive slowly around the block. but even that is no garente? they will come loose. just be sure to clean the threads and use anti sieze for next time good luck todd

is there a mother load of pic or just a few here and there todd

i got a good ea81 there this summer 150 bucks. w/dist, carb ,alt and starter,the hole ball of wax!! i took in a battery and did a compresion check. seems good. i was leery too,thew were side stepping any testing questing.so i did it myself. you can't beat the price w/a 30 day swap. i know of a 74 wagon,for parts if you go w/a1400[as foolish as it seems] just kidding man!! todd 360 424 4340

hey, i 've had good luck fixing those leaks. the trick to the front seal is to use high tack sealer [almost glue] to hold in the seal i've used blue silicone onley to have it " walk" it moved 1/8 inch. in 6 months. and pre-oil the race before putting in the pully. now on to the oil pump,i've also good luck installing a oil seal kit[from the dealer] it can be hard to get the pump out. take your time pulling the oil filter up & down while GENTLY prying it out. pry on outside areas of the pump not in between the metal to metal plates[ does that make sence]. the seals are probaly hard as a hard seal and will break in your hand. take it easy taking out the 2 philip screws,there easy to strip[i've had to un screw them with a small chisil] once the pump is out its easy to "reseal"it. the last stinker is to put a LITTLE sealer on the seal between the pump and the block. i've had them fall off or move on install. i've done this a dozen times with good results. don't get in a hurry and you'll do fine. good luck ,todd ,the old one p.s. it can be tough getting it back in. line up the "keys" .get in place and use the bolts to pull it in [cris cross],be carefull that everything is lined up and slowly pull it in. have fun todd
