Since last posting, have done the following:
Engine:
- Full timing belt kit replacement with Aisin kit. Looked like service had been done not too long ago, but PO didn't set the tensioner correctly and it was a cheap Gates kit. Replaced cam and crank seals and position sensors while in there as well.
- Also had to replace crank pulley and bolt since old balancer was wobbly and the crank had been bored out to some larger than OEM spec size which meant I couldn't use a new factory crank bolt. Ended up piecing two ARP bolt kits together to get the right washer and length bolt.
- Upgraded radiator to the Leo aluminum unit and got all new coolant and heater hoses.
- Upgraded oil cooler to a Setrab 25 row unit and running -8AN Earls lines and fittings to factory oil cooler block since original lines were leaking.
- Replaced both exhaust manifolds since they both had cracks (one was previously welded and cracked again)
- OEM gauges didn't really work (oil pressure wouldn't read and voltmeter was all over the place) , so I replaced them with a trio of Speedhut gauges. Utilized OE oil pressure sensor location and used available bung on radiator for coolant temp.
