  1. Well, if the pump was damaged, there's no real way of telling until the engine is started. I suppose you could pull the tranny and inspect things. But, your prolly better off just bolting it back together and testing. I'd install the shafts, and then align the cogs on the TC to the shaft. It might take quite a bit of figiting to get everything aligned, and seated properly. The TC should be behind the mating surface of the trans/eng 1/8-/1/4" You can use a straight edge across the trans mouting surface to check. Climb into the engine compartment and sit on the crossmember to get every thing aligned.
  2. I sure hope that your not working outside, in Wi.? Brrr.. If you are, add 2 hrs for Warming Hands!
  3. FWIW, buying a bottle of heet for every tank is a waste of money. In the first place, all that Heet is, is Isopropal Alchohol. You could go to walmart and buy a quart of it for about the same price as a pint of heet. Add one or two cap fulls to a tank would be just as effective as a bottle of heet. Secondly, You should not need any heet/alcohol in your fuel. The refineries have already included it in your fuel. The winter blended fuel is so full of additives, that it effects mileage. If you buy your fuel from a high volume station. You should never have a problem with water in your fuel.
  4. Sure, they wear out. Also, these are extenuated circumstances. $5.00 is cheap insurance for doing a job twice.
  5. I'd replace the tranny front seal. $5.00 seal vs pulling it all apart again if it leaks???
  6. As far as the wheel bearing goes. I usually remove the knuckle/hub at home. Then take it somewhere that has a hydaulic press (and knows how to use it) have them press the old out/new in. IIRC, around $50 per
  7. It will fit. There are a couple of minor differences. The horns on the later hood are a little shorter, and the windshield washer squirters are a little closer together. Nothing that most people would even notice. So, Yes. I'd say the rad support is off. Around $60 for a new one. You'd need a spot weld remover, and a welder to attach it.
  8. Fuel additives are a muilti million dollar scam. You can use them, but show Me a study that conclusively shows any improvement in a properly maintained engine. There are already so many cleaning agents in the fuel You buy.... more is not always better.
  9. A Drive Shaft is a tricky thing to get rebuilt properly. I bought one from a local rebuild shop, and it was a POS. Vibrated from the get go. http://www.ccrengines.com/mwe/index.html
  10. Weird, over on the other site it says Suby, and Honda are the top resale autos
