Starter Replacement
I just rebuilt it, replaced all the copper contacts inside. It turns over/starts 100% every turn of the key. Before I had the turn and click problem. This fixed it instantly. I never messed with adding in a relay. I will probably leave it until it breaks, I now know how to get to it should I need to. Forget laying under the car and loosening those bolts, I just pulled the air intake manifold and reached right in and loosened it up. I tried laying under the car and getting to it, after almost 2 hours of trying different combinations of extensions, ratchets, swivel heads...you name it. I threw in the towel and took the manifold off.

Update
Decided after starting my tear down that I am going to replace my accessory belts as well. They basically looked like crap, never really looked at them closely before but they are all cracked and dried up. Also, I am going to go ahead and replace my radiator too. It seems to have a be leaking after I overheated, and I am not sure how old it is or how good it is flowing.
More to come... |

Take lots of pictures
In order to make sure I remember how all these hoses and wiring goes back together I am taking pictures of everything I do along the way. Here are some before pics that should come in handy later.

Best Trick in the Book
If you want to remember where all of your screws go, this tip in my opinion is priceless. Somewhere along my projects I learned to take a piece of cardboard, and do this....Might be over the top, but I can pretty much assure you I wont get stuck bolting it all back together.

you can also get some masking tape and label the wires with their respective places, a lil time consuming but its a good practice in patience and thoroughness.
gl man, youll love it when its rolling again. id go with the head studs as well over the arp bolts, worth the extra bux and more insurance.
