it was my mistake, it's the 3.3...should have double checked. i just got it from my brother in law and was going by what he said
also, apparently the oil pan is coming down so add oil pan gasket
what about a new crankshaft oil seal?

Yea, I can do that. So far I've got the motor mount out, the ac moved, coolant and oil drained, obviously the belts off and the crank damper is off. Getting ready to remove the idler pulley, the engine bracket and then the timing chain cover.
Got a severe headache after straining to get the bolt out of the damper...so I took a break. My butterfly impact wouldn't even break it.

the o-rings weren't even circles anymore, the gasket was all but non-existant. i'll check the crank for sure. also, the timing chain was decently tight on one side and loose as hell on the other...gonna replace that too.
