I just got off work, and then went for a half an hour drive around town and it's outskirts... Damn i LOVE driving that thing, the SUs only make it that much MORE better, and they aren't even full throttle yet. I'm planning on it later this morning that is, as in after i go to bed and wake up i'll go and get another filter and a couple more quarts of oil and then change it.

I also need to order up a tune up kit, and i'm probably going to get some Magnecore wires as well. Then also a silicone rear seal, and maybe a front one as well. What's the best way to partake in this exercise? Take out the motor? Or is it easy enough to take car of it with the motor still in the car? I can't picture it being very easy to get the bellhousing off of the engine while it's still in the car... Should i replace the front timing cover seal as well while i'm at it? And what about a timing gear, leave it or get a new one while i'm in there? Get a camshaft while i'm at it? or no... Hahah, ok, just about the seals, keep the engine in or take it out, and get both front and back, or just back, and then also about the timing gear, leave it or replace it?

Thanks as always,
Kyle
