[Shotimes] rod bearings

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 13:14:43 -0500

Ohhh... Some other points as well. Some are covered on Kurt's web site, some
aren't.

1. The gasket from the oil pickup tube to the oil pump is discontinued
E9DZ-6626-A. You can get it from www.partsvoice.com or you can use an EGR
gasket.

2. The torque specs for the nut for the oil pickup tube MIGHT be wrong in
the Helms. I trusted it and ended up shearing off the stud. Luckily, I could
get a pair of vise-grips on it to get it out.
