hey guys,
my 181k klde just blew a rear (valve cover) (ithink) gasket.) while im at it, with figuring out the taillight fuse blowing, and if i had to spend all the time to fix a gasket on the rear of this motor, im gonna clean up and install my 65k klde,that wont smoke, or make top end noise a little.
How awfuly difficult is this? i guess ill pull the cvs and tranny, then get on the motor. Ive never worked on anything like this before, ive done several 302 swaps into stuff, worked on turbo eagle talons, as well as hondas, but never a probe. How difficult is it to pull/replace an engine with a replacement one? a 1-2 day job? Im gonna do some porting/cleaning up on the new klde before i put it in.
Also, my tail light fuse keeps blowing. I pulled the wires down out of the front and checked them out. they're all good, and so are the rear wires at it. The relay is fine, and the output side of the fuse socket does not show continuity to ground. I pulled all the bulbs,thinking it may be one ofthem, and cleaned out the inside of the sockets/wires.
could it be the switch?
Also, where can i order piston rings for a klde, and how much are they gonna cost? while im at it, having this motor apart to clean/inspect it, i might as well assure myself of a tight motor.
thanks, mark.
