[Shotimes] Shopping List for 60K

[Al Fitz]

I do happen to have a few SHOs around so I don't worry about having to drive
the "FOOTMOBILE".

  As you said, there are 2 schools of thought on this. If this is your daily
  driver that if it broke you would be SOL then I would do the preventative
  maintenance. If you have spare cars, then you can afford to wait.

  I think that there are two schools about the 60K and I'm of the OLD SCHOOL.
  My
  idea of a sufficient 60K is replace the plugs and wires only and maybe
clean
  the intake IF your plug wells are leaking. Of course you take the risk of a
  CPS failure at an inopportune time and the risk of a water pump failure as
  well, BUT we drive mostly within 60 miles of home 90% of the time and a
  failure would not be the end of the world.

  Plus, the cost of plugs and wires is hundreds of dollars less than the CPS,
  water pump, belts, hoses, and LABOR. Who knows, you may sell the car,
  wrecked
  the car, or die of old age before anything fails.

  As far as the valves, I think you'll find that more than 80% of SHOs don't
  need the adjustment and the ones that do are marginally off.

    I think you want to do the crank sensor not the cam sensor and front
    main seal.  Both cheap parts and since it's apart it's easy.

    At 60k you are suppod to shim the valves too.  I have a shim kit, but
    currently Jim White has it.  perhaps you can talk him into letting you
    use it as well.  Ah but I see now that you say your planning on
    skipping the cams.  Your call, but since it does not leak I can
    understand.

    Hey I have a nice used water pump i could sell you :)

    Give everything a good look over like CV boots and suspension bits,
    and that's about all.

    Better than me, the 92 has 125k on it with no apparant 60k from the
    records.  I plan to replace the WP since it drips and that's about it.
