I agree. I just went through this with a broken bolt in my timing chain cover. I tried welding a nut onto the stud, but the nut just broke off...
This is a V6. If it will come out through the bottom, that’s fine too. I’ve only ever removed them when the entire tub off the frame. Thanks!
Is it possible to remove the Ross box in an early 5, through the floor? In other words, it looks like with the trans tunnel / floor panels...
It a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe factory color. I believe it’s called pewter metallic, or maybe ‘light pewter metallic’.
Correct. From my experience, the Kaiser (early style) are larger diameter - 10 3/8” inside diameter. These have the Kaiser red/gold centers....
Omg. I’ve already thought about that… I really wish I could figure out a way to use some double-sided tape or something to secure them. Some of...
After several months of searching, I finally found a full set of baby moon hubcaps. The rears aren’t that difficult to find, but the fronts were...
Ah ha! I bet that’s the answer. And I think my local Ace Hardware sells them.
Thanks so much. I had never heard of “extra fine”, but that’s probably what it is…
For the life of me, I can’t find a nut to fit this WS washer nozzle. It’s 5/16” diameter, but it’s not the standard 18 or 24 thread pitch. It’s...
This is my issue too… Thanks for the advice. I’ll go with the Victor Reinz and Ultra Black for the ends.
Edit: Now that I’m looking at gaskets online, I see that the 225 uses rubber seals at the front and rear.
Next up on the to-do list is replacing my intake gasket. I have a substantial oil leak at the drivers rear corner and I assume it’s where the...
Just to put a bow on all this, in case anyone in the future reads this thread… I did plastigauge the gears, to be sure everything was within...
Yes - it’s a new timing chain cover, new gears, and a new thrust plate. Original pump cover.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I didn’t check the end play on the gears. I thought with a new timing cover, and the thrust plate, everything would be in...
I’m reassembling my oil pump with a new thrust plate. I believe I have an everything in the correct order, but I’d love some confirmation on the...
Last question (maybe) - when I swap the oil pump over to the new cover, is it a straight bolt-on deal? Or do I need to pack it with vaseline to...
Oh - I definitely considered a new oil pump, timing set, clean and paint everything with the original color, all the things. But then I realized...
Thanks for all the feedback. I called and spoke with TAP this morning. Very nice people. They actually told me that they didn’t see a major...
