Thanks,

Jay, it's not supposed to be that bad. It's clearanceing the seals that is really the only thing that takes any brains from what I can tell.

The rest is just going slow and following the workshop manual guidelines.

You can buy rebuild videos from here



Other than that this topic has been discused in detail in teh engine building forum. Spend a couple of days there and you should be ready to go...

Thanks FD3, Your allways helpful. I really appeciate the help.



Thanks.

I finished my first rebuild three weeks ago. I used the Atkins (Turrentine) video, I probably watched it 10 times. I still have a TV and VCR in my garage.



Cleaning the side housings and rotors has to be the hardest part. Assembly is easy as long as you go slow and follow directions. I have to say that swapping out the old motor for the rebuilt one was 3x as difficult as the rebuild itself. Take a look at a thread in the section called "I finally did it!" or something close to that. That outlines everything I have done in the last 3 weeks.

Thanks Carmon, that theard really helped me. Hope the rest if the rebuild goes good.



Thanks,



Jay
