Ok, well I pulled the front cover off tonight, change of plans for the weekend. So I dumped the oil and stuff. I checked the oil and its fine no bearing particls in it or anything, rather happy about that.

So onto pulling the front cover off. It came apart easy

It looked like it was blowing past the o-ring. So I replace the o-ring, made a paper gasket for the oil pump instead of just gms this time. So I get it all back together ok oil pressure at start up. I read Itos low oil pressure post and check the oil cooler line, stiff like its supposed to be. So I start driving it the 3 miles home and about 2 miles down the road it drops to 0... eh. I think its my oil pressure sending unit for my autometer gauge so I'm going to look into that again.

I checked the oil cooler line again and it was softer than before..... is that normal?



Yes I had repalced one rotor but I made sure it was from the same series.

I also flushed my oil cooler prior to putting my rebuilt in.



So if anyone know were I can find specs for the autometer sedning unit that would be cool.

Thx

Ok so I checked with a mechanical gauge and pressure is just fine. I dropped the drive shaft and the front U joint has a little catch in it. So now I need to find that nice write up about replacing the joints

It also has a low rpm miss that I need to figure out, goes away above 2k. Still looking into that little problem.



So a few things solved or at least figured out

You have to replace the entire driveshaft, the joints are un-serviceable. The hesitation may be cured by testing and adjustiing the TPS.

No theres a way to replace the ujoints, theres a write up somewhere on the net I just have to refind it. Basically you just pound the joint in one direction until the cap comes out then go the other direction ect... not too hard I dont' think just need the part # they had listed.
