[V8] Dizzy Seals

[Ron Wainwright]

Scott, Obviousley take the airfilter box stuff off.
Too remove the cap's I use a 1/4 inch deep 8mm socket,
& a T-30 for the three torx cheese bolts that hold the
plug wire holder to the back part of the
Intake.....then remove the cap's & wires.
 At this point even if I'm R&R'ing the dizzy seals I
like to spin the motor around to TDC. So you'll have
too remove the rad fan. Two 10mm bolts & place the fan
on the Hydro res. I all so remove the shroud for the
serp driven fan...again two 10mm bolts & you'll be
able to mauver the shroud more too the pass side so
you can put a 27mm socket & ratchet on the Crank bolt.
So once the motor is at TDC,
 you can use a 10mm 1/4 socket to remove the two dizzy
bolts. Wiggle the dizzy's free. There's a big thick
Green 0-ring. If you don't have them...dealer only &
only like a few $$$ each...but IF you'r going to use
RTV clean the area...but at this point you can again
use the 10mm socket to remove the Dizzy Flange. There
is a rubbery Blue thin gaskets. I usually use the
Black RTV on that gasket..even when I replace them
with new ones....but again after you remove clean the
area good.
 Put a thin bead around the Blue Flange gasket & bolt
it back to the Block.
 I all so replace the Green Dizzy seals with new & I
DON'T use RTV on that. It's usually a tight press back
in. Of course I soak the 0-rings in oil for a
bit..makes it easier to slide the Dizzy's back on. But
NO RTV..unless you will be reusing those gaskets.

 pretty easy huh?? LOL

 Here's some pics for your viewing enjoyment. I
documented step by step the how too on T-belt
replacement.....the way it's SUPPOSED to be done ;-)
