So far all i have succeeded in doing is to scrape the top of the plastic ring off. Cant find the set if dental probes i use to have. Any ...

Re: Front Main Seal/Cam Seal

Thanks Petros! coming with the info big time!

Well, had a hell of a time getting the pulley off. Do have one more question. Is the front seal a felt type gasket/seal that looks like an upside down "U"? The gasket set that I bought didnt contain it, so i bought one at the local, but its called a ...

Re: Front Main Seal/Cam Seal

yep, its got a pretty bad leak. when i bought it, the former owner had replaced the oil pan gasket only to have another leak start. at this point he gave up. no doubt the leak was a result from poor work done on it, but it afforded me a great steal of a price.

Re: 83 parts car

I just got in the game with a '83, and it never hurts to have some spare gizmos laying around for the future. Are you in a rush to get rid of it? I am local so it's not a stretch to get down there. It's drivable too?

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel Wagon 4WD - $900
