I'm all for preventative maint. while I'm down into a motor that far, but I don't typically mess with things that are not known to cause issues.
    thank you. that's what i've said since my first post.

    Question is, would you really want any of them to come back, lol... If it was screwed up once I'd bet it's still that way

    And LOL at Reptile.

    Personally I think his kanuter valve is screwed up and has a bent thrust plate bearing spinner. Luckily they are available at your nearest Pontiac dealers for replacement. Wait, whaa.. Whadda mean there's no more Pontiac dealers Well, time to buy a Hyundai and call it a day.
