[QUOTE="cheeser, post: 16205028, member: 142342"] I'm getting ready to install my VMP Stage 1 kit and oil pump gears next weekend. The install instructions seem pretty clear...already printed out. As I wait for my final parts, I had a few initial questions: 1) I bought a timing cover that has already been modified. I want to install the new crank seal, but manual doesn't illustrate the orientation of the seal to press it in from front. Is it fairly obvious? 2) Bought a new oil pump and gears to swap ahead of time. I couldn't find torque values for the screws on the back side of cover when I button it back up, 3) How much antifreeze for radiator and intercooler? I was planning to replace the fluid anyways. 4) I purchased the NGK IX (6510s) plugs. Spark plug gap...instructions say .028 to .035 is acceptable, while I have seen other at .032? Should I use .032? I don't know if there are any other gotchas I should watch for. I have seen the various tips for removing the oil pump tube bolts and reinstalling. [/QUOTE]
