Boy are you going to be suprised:)

You just put a dab of the RTV were the front timing cover meets the block, smooth it along the intersection of the two. Put too much and the HG may not seal.

Well it was. Do the tests and find out for sure.

I had to pry mine a little, just make sure you got all the bolts out. :) Belt sander FTW Supramacist, lol.

I'm a old man, original owner, never had a BHG either. :)I started having a little "fun" with it around 60k. Never replaced the clutch until 93k, it was still ok. If he changed the oil regular and used a good oil it's still probably still within specs. Mine still was at 93k. So it's up to you...

Are you going to rebuild the bottom end? Stock motor with that many miles on it would not last too long.

Yes you can have the head ported and polished. You will probably have to have the head milled anyway but I would just have them take off enough to straighten it and clean it up for a new HG. A HG set for $33.00 I would stay away from, at you sure it included the HG? Go with the Felpro or a...

Pull it and have a tranny shop rebuild it.

:wavey:

Timing needs to be 10 deg BTDC, and did you time it with a light and the jumper wire?

If you haven't had a timing light on it you need to. Follow the TSRM to time it with a jumper wire. And did you set the stop screw back according to the TSRM?

There's several threads on this, you have to "crack" the bolts loose with a breaker bar and then torque them.

But with what. Like others posted some good oils could help.

I have a 88 and no it does not have one.

Duh, didn't see that.

It's in the TSRM. You are suppose to have x amount of play until you feel something solid when you push in the clutch. Another thing, when was the last time you changed the fluid? Or checked it? A good grade tranny lube may make a difference, may not. Depends on how many missed shifts from...

I don't understand it. JetJock has always posted very good advice, in a way that most can understand, and usally tells how it works, why it works, and how to check to see if it is working. Very uncalled for IMO. I've been doing my own wrenching for 40 years and still learn a lot from guys like...

Sounds like the syno's. Have you checked the clutch for proper end play?

Why not get the Felpro HG? In fact why not get the whole set from Felpro? If you're getting a valve job the machine shop should be able to do the valve lash. Why not the timing belt? Alot easier to do while you have everything apart.

But if you read the thread and the sticky, it's not working right. If it's not working right you are suffering somewere. IE bottom end or top end.
