I installed a new timing chain cover, ordered from EB. I did pull the pan. It was work but it wasn't too bad. Started it up tonight, it fire up right away, then started surging. After awhile the surging stopped. I will look at it again tomorrow. I need to clean it up and check for leaks, set the timming and adjust the values. Hoping it will run for another 50-100k. It has 202k on it now.
