Thats where I got mine.

Not necessarily. If the oil shaft gear is still engaging the oil pump, pressure shouldn't be affected. If it disengages, your motor will seize.

You mean the noise filter?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing as Bmettie. Tear it down past the inner timing cover. If you're lucky, you might have had the retainer bolt unscrew itself, and the retainer is hitting the inside of the timing cover. Worst case scenario, is that the retainer seperated from the shaft. As for...

Um, sounds like there may be a problem with the alternator circuit then, not the alternator. Have you checked the fuses in the engine bay fusebox?

So, the fuse was popping from some sort of short... and you allowed higher amperage through the circuit, and now it doesn't run?

Each of the plugs that hold the #3 valve cover on, have small o-rings. These are the ones I checked first.

I was toying with the idea of installing studs in their place...Wondering if there would be any benefit, besides reducing the wear & tear on the threads.

Everything he just said. My understanding is, that our AFM's are optical. You CAN'T clean them with spray cleaner.

Pics are always appreciated.

Pull all of the spark plug wires off the plugs, and look into the holes? Is there any oil or water accumulating? If so, that'll cause engine cutout under anything more than light throttle. Dry out those areas by pushing in paper towels with a long screwdriver. That area must be bone dry.

Fuel cut on a regular CT is usually around 10-12, but once you swap out to Lex and 560's, that all changes. I wouldn't be trying to ask for more than 15psi out of any CT, regardless. Check for boost leaks already. It takes all of ten minutes.

A starter is a starter is a starter. :)

Not sure what you mean by the third part in the middle of the valve cover? As i mentioned, the valley cap bolts were all tight.

If this engine is not running, check to make sure that the oil pump driveshaft pulley is ok.

So, I pulled the head this afternoon. Both surfaces looked good, as did the gasket. In fact, the gasket looks perfect- none of the viton even broke. However, it seemed like the entire surface of the gasket was oily, as was the deck surface, so I think that the oil passages weren't sealing...

Yes, but this is 1/2 pint in 20 minutes of idle, so...

Just the smallest of updates: I began removing parts today to get the head off, and I'll probably finish up the removal tomorrow. Here's the #1 & 2 spark plugs, when I pulled the coil assembly off: I just don't get it. The valve covers are secure, and the galley plugs are sealed. I...

Well...now that you can see it so much better... CLEAN UP YOUR YARD!!! :) Is that a dresser and a water heater??
