Great thank you Jeff and Hokie1984 I will use those techniques when I make it to that point for sure. I’m finding more problems during my tear down. I just got my water pump rebuilt today I think the gasket was blown a couple of the wp bolts were loose so I figure get it rebuilt now. Also yes my lower timing cover has a few cracks and missing chunks. Also my harmonic balancer looks like it’s had some rough nights see pictures. I’m now wanting to replace the crankshaft front seal it has been leaking too. Please I also have a question about that. Does the crankshaft sprocket just pry off?? And also looking in the manual installing the front crankshaft seal I don’t have that special tool any thoughts on other ways of pressing the new seal in?? You guys wouldn’t have an extra 68 harmonic balancer for sale would you?? Rob said I could get it rebuilt but mines got chunks missing and the bolt holes have been broken with studs welded in place plus the rubber is / looks brittle. Thank you for helping me I really appreciate your feedback and great advice.
