I have been daily driving my car 4 days a week for the last 3 months. My work commute is 65 miles each way. My car has 145,000 miles on it and the damper was starting to look worn. I felt a strange vibration the other day when I was a few blocks from home almost like a miss.
I noticed a drop of oil under my car the next day so I checked it out. The oil seemed to be coming from the front main seal. I pulled the damper off and this is what I found...
So now I need to find an NPI timing cover. I had already ordered a set of Steeda pullies and a new front main seal, obviously I need a front cover gasket and I am going to replace the water pump as well.
Now I could use some advice. Can I get the old cover off by loosening the front oil pan bolts and pulling the cam covers or do I need to pull the oil pan.
Any help is appreciated!
