Re: [T3] Engine rebuild - What special tools will I need?


I have a torque wrench, and I'm replacing the heads with new ones.  I'm not
looking to crack the case, since I have good oil pressure and the engine
isn't all THAT old.  Its burning/leaking oil because the car sat for a
couple decades in someone's basement, and when I got it the motor was
frozen.  I was able to unfreeze it and get it running/driving, but I'm sure
I broke or damage a ring in the process, not to mention any galling or
rusting on the cylinder wall(s).
