Hey all,
I was wondering... I am getting ready to swap in a 3.5 with 120K miles into my 95 SR. I don't know anything about the maintenance history of the engine, and was wondering what maintenance I should do while i have the engine out. It seems to me this would be a great time to do the timing belt and maybe the valve stem seals. Shouldn't take long at all with the motor on the stand (or floor). Should I do anything else? Also, apporoximately how much money am I looking at spending for all the necessary parts? I don't want to spend a whole lot, but I also think this might be the perfect time to do this not-so-routine maintenance. One more question, where is the best/cheapest place to buy my parts? Thanks in advance for the replies, this forum is great. Cole
