Now to Easton you might want invest in a repair manual. If you are not around a computer or have the manual there take a few sockets over to the nut to see which one fits. Just an idea & no I'm not being a smart ass.

Hahaha you guys are funny

I downloaded some factory manuals from my phone. Before i take it apart i'm probably going to order a repair video or just get a jdm.

Don't you like getting under the car then having to go back to your tool box few times? Heh I hatee that myself.

Heh yea well ill let you guys know what I find

You know that pisses me off to be under the car & you forgot to bring down a tool needed. Most of the time I'll just bring the whole socket tray down there.

Or, working on a car thinking its either metrc or standard and uses both.

Since I brought the torque spec, make sure you don't over torque oil pans as its torque is only mere 8 lbs. over torque them oil pan bolts are the single most common practice causes MORE oil leak by trying to stop from oil leak.

If you are doing the rebuild, this would be the time to consider any porting. No point in throwing it back together just to pull it apart later for a port job. I'm not sure what kind of budget you are working with. Here you have a few options to do so if interested.
1. Have a shop do the porting
2. Buy a porting template & do the porting yourself
3. Purchase housings & plates already ported

Other things maybe to think about are the seals, oil pump & regulator or any other internal parts.

Yes, while you're at it concept is highly recommended to a certain degree. My "while you're at it" still haunts me.

Well my budget at the moment is a G. I need to see the housings and everything else before I decide. I'll prob buy the template and have my uncle port it. If things don't look good might go with jdm. All depends on the condition of the internals.
