Eikari Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thinking about changing the waterpump as a preventive maintance. Is the OEM WP the only one you trust to use. I was wandering about buying a WP from Japanparts as i assume it´s cheaper. And also what seals should i replace on the engine. Is it the camseals, crankshaft, oilpump 0-ring, valve covers. What am i forgetting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am i forgetting? I would stick with OEM parts especially for these pieces considering you have so much labor involved in the r&r. I would also change the timing belts if you are doing all the rest. Also tighten up the oil pump and locktight the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikari Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yes i changed the timing belt recently but didn´t think about the other subsystems, such as the oil and waterpump:-\. What about changing the fuel filter, OEM or Japanparts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 For a fuel filter I always just go to Autozone or someplace and pick one up. Next time I might try OEM...but i've had good luck with the cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eikari Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 I also have one bad rear wheel bearing and am going to replace it soon. Should i just change both wheel bearing or do they wear differently out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
