SO I am biting the bullet, and doing an opti swap. What is needed beside an opti and wp? What are the P/N's for the seals and gaskets?

 

Theres another thread i think started by Dave88LX that has a chart for what you need.
Right off the top of my head.....
You'll at LEAST need the water pump gaskets. But you should inspect the seals on the waterpump shaft, and also the seals on the timing cover.

 

I just replaced my opti 2 days ago.

All you need is 2 waterpump gaskets.(you can get at any auto parts store) The opti already came with the o--ring gaskets on it.

It wasn't too bad, only took about 3 hours.

Have fun!

 

Wait there is a bunch of seal numbers, and i am, of course, super . There is this part no.: 10217886 (Front wp seal) Is this the wp seal?, I know it looks obvious but i am doing this at a friends house 40 miles from my house.

So the wp has one seal? just the one for coolant? or is this one different? I want doubles of every seal just in case. So just tell me if i am wrong. I must have this correct.

BTW, should I get a "1993-1994 front cover opti seal" 10128317, too?

I know the opti comes with its own seals, so am i done?

 

This set from felpro should have the opti stuff, timing cover, and water pump gaskets: 45953 Last time I got the kit for my car it was about $14 at Autozone.

 

The above, that I inserted in your text, should be what you need...1 thru 4 [or all 5 if you think you need a crank seal..]
Get 2 water pump seals, and a search will tell a few 'methods' of installing it.. I used the water pump drive shaft [cleaned well and oiled] , put the seal onto that, then pushed it onto the drive gear stub that sticks out of the front timing cover with a socket..[at same time it goes into the cover] It can be quite tricky..
Above of course are for 93-94[early unvented opti] The opti seals are different for vented..
