cam seals questions once again
I know this kind of question has been asked many times, but I have a new spin and want your opinions.
About 7K miles ago I had a leaking water pump. I had a local shop replace it and the timing belt and seals since the front had to be apart anyway. so now I'm leaking oil pretty good out the front of the engine. So either I got taken on the seals or one was nicked or??? anyway, the owner of that shop died about a month ago and it has never reopened - must have been a sole proprietorship. So I can't go back for warranty work. now my main question. 109K miles total, what else should I get looked at since the pump and T belt are both new. If I attempt this at home, how big a strap wrench is needed to hold the pulleys in place, any new advice on the main pulley removal without separation, and any issues with getting the pulleys back on and tightened down? Finally, I'm assuming the two cam seals, main pulley seal, and probably something around the timing cover itself. anything else need to be acquired? |
