[Shotimes] Replacing CPS: What Else Should I Replace?

[Paul Nimz]

Just bypass the TB and IAC coolant passages.  I used bulk hose for all but
the U shaped oil cooler hose.  If you used hydraulic hose this could be
substituted for the U shaped hose as it will not kink.

Use a NAPA 7311 hose for the lower radiator hose, on the 3.0L any way.

Definitely change ALL coolant hoses, like Mike said they are 8 years old.
Over the years there have been a few SHOtimers that did "60k" work without
changing all the hoses only to have one of the small hoses go soon after
everything gets put back together, PITA!

O-rings at the crossover tube, FelPro ES70425.  You may not need to change
your wires, unless the old ones have been sitting in oil.  Mine are OEM at
155K miles, still strong.  I would suggest pulling the cam drive pulleys off
and replacing the oil seals, NAPA# 15810, or National 1213N, $5 ea.  They
will leak someday, PITA to change them if the front end isn't apart (it will
need to be).  Also easy at the same time to change the rear cam seal, behind
the sensor.   But that one can be changed any time; I just did mine in less
than an hour.  Lower radiator hose is easy to change; better to do it before
it softens and chokes the water.  While your car is low in miles, its got 8
years on it, heat soaked seals, hoses etc.  A little maintenance goes a long
way.......
