awesome, thanks for the fast reply

Hey everybody, I'm in the process of doing the timing belts and all the front seals on my 89 GL. I got the oil pump off and replaced the shaft seal. I put the shaft back in and got the sprocket on, but there's about 1/4" up and down play in the shaft. I'm pretty sure I beat the sprocket on as far down as it would go, but is that much shaft play normal? I put a new mickey mouse gasket on and got the pump back onto the block, but when I turn the sprocket, there is a fair amount of resistance from the shaft. Is this normal? It's not like turning the cam pulley or anything like that, but it just doesn't feel very smooth. I would guess it takes 3-5 ft/lbs to turn the sprocket. When I took it off, I cleaned everything off, but I didn't put any oil on the shaft or the end of the shaft or anything. Should it all go back together dry like that or does it need to be lubed a bit? I just can't remember how it felt turning it before I took it off.

awesome pictures man, thanks a bunch. that's exactly what i was looking for. when you drilled into the bumper, did you have to use a tap or anything? is there any metal in there or is it just styrofoam inside of the plastic skin? sorry i'm kinda hijacking your thread with these bumper questions lol

jj421, if it isn't too much trouble, could you post a couple pics showing how you mounted those lights? I'm actually more curious about how you did the ones on your bumper, but I'd also like to see how you mounted the ones underneath too. I have some 7" halogens that I need to get on my wagon soon so I'm looking for ideas
