MARC How about some information about when you spun your bearing? Did the oil pressure go down after and was it accompanied by the usual knock? What did the other bearing shells look like? From your experience, do you think it would be wise to replace rod bearings after a couple of years if your going to hammer it a lot? Was the crank salvageable? Any info or thoughts you can give would be appreciated.
thanks---AL

It is all installed and will test it out tomorrow.

Your tool works GREAT. I could not have done it without it hands down. The hardest part of the install was the following;

• Clip removal
  
• Installing new clips on the new fuel pump
  
• Reinstalling the O-ring while trying to screw in the fuel pump.
  

Beyond that, I know I saved myself roughly $500 dollars labor.

If all goes well tomorrow, I will pass on the tool to JD.

I just looked at your pics again and see you have a round sealing o-ring for the tank top. Did you replace with the new style sealing ring that is a flat ring?(square in shape when looking at a section view) I guess if it doesn't leak, it wont matter. The new style is the standard replacement for the round style.I'm pretty sure I mentioned it, but we talked about a lot of stuff.

Al, believe it or not, the square ring would not fit. I was forced to reuse my old round 0-ring. Also the larger rubber ring that outlines the outside of the opening, would not fit aswell. I just took a chance and left those two alone. I did double check the rubber to make sure there was no cracks on them.

I hope they still hold up. I began to screw on the cap once I felt the rubber 0-ring evenly around the surrounding upper cap with my finger. I could tell when it had bounced off its track. Once I felt it even all around, I placed pressure with my left had and screwed the cap with my right hand. I got a work out but I think it worked.

I will fill up my tank and do what you recommened. From a visual stand point and feel. It looks like it sealed properly.

Later...
