Those headers and exhaust system look really nice thanks for that link. It does mention that they are for off-road use only, which means they must be fun and loud. There is no way the truck would pass emissions checks with them.

Rear main seal leak huh. Guess I'll ignore mine for the time being. Again, thanks for the heads up.

Easy day of repairs for me. I installed the new water pump and thermostat that comes with the timing belt kit. Cleaned everything up nicely - good old wire wheel again. With the holiday, I'll have to wait until Tuesday to get a hold of the machine shop.

One question -
The timing belt kit comes with a replacement bolt. It's the one that the tensioner fits over. This seems odd to me, the bolt is a large diameter one and I can't imagine it messing up. My original one shows no obvious sign of wear. Is this replacement bolt a known issue?

Thanks for the replies.
