i need lots of parts. what to get and where to get

[nakta]

ok, i need an oil filter relocation kit, t-bars, and c-v joints. i already have thorey headers, and a 3 inch body lift. also, i need to replace my valve cover gaskets, and rear main seal. any ideas on the later 2 or how to's are greatly appreciated!

Have you tried automotive performance or 4x4 stores?

[wheelmanLS1]

I got my Perma-Cool oil filter relocation kit from summitracing.com. And I would try Napa, Autozone, or Advanced Auto Parts for the valve cover gaskets.

[nakta]

price on the oil kit, and how do you like it? are they all the same?

[wheelmanLS1]

They are all pretty much the same. This particular kit cost I think $54 with shipping and allows the use of a Ford V8 filter which greatly increases oil capacity. This picture has been posted too many times already. The downside is less protection in off-road conditions. I personally love its location as it leaves the engine bay less cluttered, easier to change oil, and it's way cooler in the wheelwell which increases engine longevity.

This is the one that I found. I will be buying one soon, changing oil with it in its stock location is a pain in the butt.

OFRK: Summit racing: P/N: (Perma Cool kit) PRM-10695 I paid $45.88 for mine (I have a '92 so P/N's should be the same)

 

rear main seal: Autozone P/N: RS40628 $11.99

T-Bars.. here you have choices... Calmini seem to make the best ones..

Valve cover gasket: Kragen Auto Parts P/N: VS50251R1 $43.99 (pair with grommets)

 

The body lift.. i guess ac or somewhere... I really wouldn't be able to recommend a place as i do not have a body lift

 

Valve cover gaskets are rubber... use the blue gasket sealer.. put it on the actual valve cover where the gasket will go, and apply liberally! don't be stingy!

rear main seal.. not too hard... almost self explanatory once you see it if oyu really need all the dirt and details i can provide them.. but would rather save some mileage on my keyboard..lol

 

oh........and GOOD LUCK! -study-

 

oh yeah.. cv joints can also be obtained at Kragen

 

here's my OFRK....

I always compare prices to Rock Auto (rockauto.com) for OEM parts. Sometimes I can get the top shelf quality parts for the same price as the taiwanese tripe at the local shops...

But sometimes, their prices are not so great, so I always check around.

And I have used North Texas Nissan for OE parts based on a tip I got here. They were more than 30% less than my local dealer, and very pleasant to work with.

[nakta]

where did you get the one you got wheelman? i think i want to get that one as i can use a different filter.

[FLApathy]
