Well, I am pulling my 7m since i blew a coolant line on the back of the motor, and it is leaking from every seal possible. It is sleeping over the winter so I figured now was the best time to do it.
The engine is higher miles, but has good compression (all within spec), and runs very well. I am wondering if it is wise to just buy a gasket set, re-torque the head, and call it good, or since i have it out, should I pull the pan, and measure the bearings? If within spec, call it good and throw it back together? I can't afford to tear it all the way down, but if I can afford to do some, might as well do as much as I can. Thanks in advance.
