Started the truck up to move it to the shop to do the KDP jig and heard a grinding noise like ice or snow in the fan and when I shut off the truck saw oil leaking .. Continued to move the truck to the shop and started to take it apart and sure thing big crack in the Timing cover. Now where can I find detailed instructions on how to remove the cover and replace. Can it be done without removing the cam ? Thanks alot. Talk about irony.

 

see what happens when you think about things to hard. they come true That thought has been daunting me for years now on my 93s.

Sorry to hear about that Good luck getting her all buttoned up.

I am trying to convince a kid from school to do his pin (actually his dad's), but he says, "no, it runs fine the way it is, why mess with it," Then I tell him it runs fine the way it is, why change your oil, and he has nothing to say, but he just won't do it. Oh well...
