Replacing head gasket. What else should I think about Posted by scott47 [Email] (#119) [Profile/Gallery] (more from scott47) on Sat, 3 Oct 2009 10:11:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've decided to replace the head gasket on my 1987 900T and have ordered a kit from eEuroParts.com which includes the head gasket, intake manifold gasket, exhaust man. gasket, valve cover gasket, 16 valve stem seals, and breather nipple bushing. At the same time I plan on replacing the Oil Pump Seal (Front Crank Seal) and Oil Pump O-Ring to hopefully stop a pretty bad leak from the front of the motor (I just learned that the front of the motor is in the back of the engine compartment :-).
Needless to say, I'm not the most experienced with working on cars but I love to do it. I changed the head on a 1985 900T about 12 years ago but had my Dad helping me. Now I live about 2 hours away and will be doing this on my own.
I have my trusty Bentley as well as the instructions that Townsend Imports has been generous enough to provide.
I will really appreciate any sugguestions that anyone might have as far as other items to check or replace or any hints you may have learned along the way.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Scott
