Subject: PM Finds by hcbph on 2016/3/19 16:11:11 Doing some of my maintenance items on the 86 and found a couple of things, one good and one not so good. I had planned to change out the bushings in the rear. When I got into it, looks like they changed them on the dogbones etc the same time they changed out them on the swaybars, just used black instead of red like used on the swaybar so it wasn't as obvious till it was in the air. They look good and seemed tight based on my checks so if it's not broken, don't fix it. Now for the possible not-so-good. Last year I had Chevy do a tuneup because I wasn't sure if the old plugs had ever been changed and this has the aluminum heads on it and I'm not set up to deal with stripped heads. Anyway they didn't do the best of routing on the plugwires, so picked up some wire looms to help keep the wires a little neater. While putting them on, found leftover plugwire insulation on one spot on the exhaust manifold and 2 on the air pipe adapters off the manifolds. It wasn't off the new set so it had to be off the old ones. Got some exhaust wrap to help insulate those areas and got the wires so they're clear of hot things. If you haven't looked at yours lately, might be worth a peek to insure your plugwires aren't touching something they shouldn't. |
