Kinda not correct. For the /6 the notch needs to be at 60 degrees IIRC, not TDC. Also, $40 for a plug seems retarded when you can get a radiator plug for less than $5 that fits perfect. You can also get the toothed ring for $10 from Napa or one of those places. Ask Mike Mueller as he gave me the on ehe bought. Sensors are free/cheap at the junk yard.

Actually, for a 6, the missing tooth should be 180 degrees away from the VR sensor, when the engine is at TDC/cylinder 1, and the VR sensor should be 60 degrees BTDC of TDC. If the sensor is moved, the missing tooth has to move with it. Their sensor mount looks to position the sensor pretty close to 60 degrees BTDC, but it's hard to tell where the missing tooth is on the EDIS wheel in relation to TDC. I think the comment on the site is just a typo.

There are a couple of people on the Bird board using these, so one presumes they actually work.

And you're officially cheaper even than I am. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, back on topic. I never want to have to do this again! I was picking little blue fragments out of everywhere.

Now I will be waiting for parts again as the gaskets from the intakes to the heads all came apart....I am getting really sick of waiting for parts. I did consider using high temp gasket sealant on them, but I am pretty sure that is wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Hey Mike,

You know I am just south of you. If you want another set of hands, let me know and I will swing up after work one day (prolly get to the harrisburg area ~6 if I gym first, or 4:45 if I go striaght from the office.

You offered to come and help me, and AFAIC the offer goes both ways.

Also I have time off for my B-Day either the 9th or the 12th. If you are still having issues, let me know and I can come up early and make a day trip of it.

Zach

Also, it appears that the rear of the drivers lower valve cover is leaking still...


Mike My lower covers were very warped -i had them milled flat (haven't tried them yet but hopefully no leaks)

I just ordered 12 intake manifold gaskets (and I hope to never have to use the others)....and the wait continues.

Zach, you are welcome to come by, but there realy is not anything here for a second person to do. This is a one man torture machine. You could play audience to my colorful disertation of profanities when the next thing(s) happens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I should have my parts no later than Wed.....then I will be chasing the leaking cover.


For the cover, I am using the new silicon gaskets and may have kleft it a little looser than I shold have. I tightened the nuts a bit more and will see if it solves the problem. If not I will have to get cfreative as it is not the cover, but the mating surface of the cam housings that is dicked up a little. Maybe I can fill all of the nicks with some JB weld and sand smooth....oh the shade tree calleth.

Cool beans. Offer stands, if you want a spare set of hands, you have my digits, or at the very least my email (email is actually best...).

Good luck.

Using my crystal ball, I don't think the oil leak is from a valve cover.
I'm thinking a rocker arm, one of the usual culrpits on top of the engine, or maybe even from betweern the cam tower and head.
Hopefully my hunch is wrong.

Man, that would piss me off sooo much. I did everything on this engine except the top end as I had no more time left to learn how to do it right before the move. I may just check those things while I have the whoel CIS and shroud off.
