CQ PN# Requests?



Thanks...

Early 1990 (U.S.) CQ
VIN WAUGD 08B 9LA 000227

(1)  Lifters (tappets)
(2)  Rad. fan motor
(3)  Distributor
(4)  Water pump

Probably have more PN# requests soon....8-(

UPDATE:  Definitely the WRONG decision(s) with the CQ.  I'm pretty beside
myself (never understood this phrase).  The CQ is up and running, but it is
clacking like all hell.  What has been done.
- Head removed
- Head gasket replaced
- Lifters "bench checked" (ARGH!)
- Valve stem seals
- T-belt
- Water pump
- Distributor
- Rad fan motor
- Heater valve
-  Waiting for oil pan baffling (Why?)

At my request, the lifters were checked.  While I was in Canada all last
week the head was put back on, along with replaced distributor.  When I show
up yesterday we run the car and its clacking away.  The mechanics put
"chemicals" in there that "usually solve the clacking" to no avail.  So now
I'm contemplating going back in and having all the lifters replaced, NOW at
"additional" labor because the "screwdriver pressure test" for the lifters
checked out.  I'm more than a little upset.  AND concerned that the clacking
could be something else altogether right?  Didn't we discuss cracked
manifolds causing this ticking?

P.S.  If you're wondering why I'm asking for the PN# now it's because I may
request them to return the ones I'll come up with back to their (dealer)
vendor.

P.i.S.S.  Catharsis.  Don't do what I've done.  Just put in a 10vt or buy a
new long block altogether.  I'm at around $2500 right now with pretty much
NOTHING to show for it.
