  1. Hello, I lost my dipstick when belts broke off while driving. I ordered a new one (part # 31086AA011) and doesn't fit. Just wondering if anyone knew of a different part number to search for or where to purchase one. Thanks.
  2. My oil dipstick recently broke due to belts snapping off. It is my understanding that this part is discontinued. Just wondering if there is an aftermarket/compatible dipstick out there. Thanks for any help.
  3. Thanks guys for your advice! To seal the oil pump is "the other o-ring" mentioned above included in the fel-pro headset conversion kit do you know, or have to buy it separate? Are there part numbers listed for the seals? I can't seem to find them, maybe I am just that much of a nOOb. I absolutely love this car and don't want to give up on it yet. It only has 155,000kms and the body/interior is spotless. It is weird to me that all these issues are arising with such low km's, but I think it is because it sat for so long un-driven. Thanks again.
  4. Thank you Dave T. Also, there is a hum coming from the fuel pump, but fuel pressure is running to spec. Once the hum started in January, issues of surging and stalling started to happen. I have had the heads replaced, valve seals replaced, 1 lifter replaced thus far, new water pump, spark plugs, and running 10W60 synthetic. When I received the car back from the shop after all this, the car seemed to run mint for about 2 weeks, when "tick of death" started and 2 instances of stalling on colder mornings. The "hum" from the fuel pump was/is still there? would this contribute to the issue of stalling? Should I replace the fuel pump or does this not matter? Should I also consider having all the lifters rebuilt, or replaced, along with re-sealing the oil pump? Should I just ditch the car? Thanks and sorry for any confusion. Kris
  5. Hello, My name is Kris and I live in Toronto, Canada. My 1988 DL is currently experiencing the "tick of death"and sometimes stalling issues. I have read on here that replacing the oil pump will help with this issue. However, my mechanic and I are having a problem locating the whole oil pump assembly. It seems it may be a part that has been discontinued. Does anyone on here happen to know where to find one? Thank you all very much. Kris
