Today I gave the N9TEAwagon a 20,000, mile(engine & trans
rebuild),going over. Plugs, cap & rotor, Mobil 1, trans fluid, front
brake pads.
areas of concern:
fair amount of oil in the intake passages
small amount of milky goo on oil filler cap and in breather tube.
I think I need to clean the screen element in the valve cover.
plugs color gradually richer towards front of engine.
2nd from rear just about right, light brown; last one a little
whiter, front one a little sooty. If they were all the same at any
one of these grades I would think it was OK- any ideas why are they
gradually darker/lighter? Uneven injectors?
Also tightened up EX manifold nuts and oil pan screws-both a little
loose. Lubed TT bearings, Replaced original neg. batt. clamp with a
real one. Wash & re-oil K & N air filter. Tranny fluid had a very
faint smoky smell-normal for first 20,000?
Anyway, running nice and stopping real well. Next, 804
injectors,adjust valves, install rebuilt alternator & starter, charge
AC, replace front end bushings & boots. CC
