I just read on PT that the KL03 will go a VERY VERY LONG TIME. ok then, i have 167000+ on mine rightnow. i am looking at doing a little mech. work to make sure it takes me the distance ( another 3 years).
ok then, i know i need to change my intake manifold gasket and the vavle cover gaskets. what material should i get? where can i buy them from and how much are they. me and my buddy(Woodnutz) can do this our self so, there will be no labor cost. plus i know about the spacer, do they go along with the gasket or what? i think i might get those to keep the air cooler, that will help too.
i read about an engine flush? what is the deal with that, how can that help and how is that done.
plus i read about a DeCarb procedure, how is this done and should this be done? how can this help?
also, is there ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL, i should look into doing to make sure it keeps going, beside the normal oil change and the gasket change.
also, i have been using Valeline oil, (normal oil), 10w30. would it be ok to change over to Syn. with the amount of miles on the car. will that hurt it at all or help. i have read all the stuff about Mobil One so i know that is what most of you use.
also well the intake manifold is off, should i try to clean it out as most as i can at the time? and is there anything i can do to the heads while i have them in the open?
any help will be thanked sorry for the long thread.
