Since you never know what you get when you buy used - I replaced the following immediately after purchase:
All belts including Timing belt
Cam, Crank and intermediate seals
Upper and Lower radiator hoses - (complete coolant flush)
Water pump (since I was in there with Timing belt)
plugs, plug wires, Distributor cap, rotor button
flame trap
tranny and brake fluid flushes
fuel filter, and of course air and oil.

Also had to change alternator since it wasn't charging (tried brushes first) and changed from R12 to R134 AC coolant.


I really hate pulling out the cluster - but I have done it (had to replace the odometer gear after breaking a gear with the trip reset button on my first fill up).

If I "jumper" the compensation board - what does it show?? Is a red-line actually too hot? BTW - what is too hot for a 240 in relatively good shape?
