    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    Are the key on the crankshaft removable? I am trying to put the new crank gear on and it wont slide down the second key. Are the keys suppossed to have a space on them?

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    I was reading some about the harmonic balancer having rubber that can get corroded and make it unbalanced, and being as I jacked it up by that piece I assume I might have caused some further damage. I figure I might as well replace it while I am in there because Im sure it is still OEM. Im...

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    I crawled back under the truck lasnight and used my phone to doe some videos in places I cant see. I found a gap in the timing cover in the area the oil was coming from. I attached a screenshot below. Its kind of blurry where the gap is on the top right, but you can see its there. I either...

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    It leaks when I start the engine. It leaks enough that I wouldn't drive it. Its more than a leak though. I would say it could leak a quart in 30 minutes to an hour. I am going to try and get a better look at it tonight and identify exactly where. As far as who "told me" to jack it up by the...

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    Even if I'm using a gasket? I used the felpro one piece gasket for replacement.

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    Mine has 250k, so I'm sure ripping into the timing chain and replacing it and the cover is probably a good idea. Just trying to gauge if I'm headed in the right direction with fixing the current leak. Mine has 250k and I just got to a few months ago and trying to get it up to par. I'm sure...

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    I didn't get into the timing cover, but that would make sense. I do think it is coming from that area or maybe I damaged the timing cover seal when I was cleaning the surfaces for the oil pan gasket. It makes me more suspicious that the leak is in the timing cover area because of how fast the...

    Front seal leak or oil pan leak

    I just changed the oil pan gasket and put a new oil pan on my 97 k1500 5.7. After changing the oil pan and starting the motor a significant amount of oil is leaking from the front area of the oil pan. Its hard to see if it is leaking from the pan or above/in front of the pan and it only seems to...

    How to - Install -AN oil cooler lines

    Thanks everyone. I found a video on youtube and it shows the longer hose goes to the top of the filter housing and the short hose to the bottom.

    How to - Install -AN oil cooler lines

    I cant seem to find a "Sticky" Section"? I spent about 30 minutes thumbing through the Chilton manual lastnight and couldnt find a diagram or mention of how they connect. Only vague directions on replacing them. Should have checked before I took them off!
