Do i have to tear everything apart(cap-rotor)
Ok my car is 86 000miles and its ready for a tune up,i will change all the fluid and probably the power steering unit.I will also install a new msd blaster coil(8226),accel 9000 plug wire(9037),new plug(tr55).
I also got a msd cap and rotor kit(84811) that i want to install.I already know that some of you prefer to change the whole opti unit at the same time but...I already got the cap and rotor and i dont want to spend for a new opti since mine is working perfectly.
I got no money to waste cause like a lot of people im beginning to be a little tight on budget and i want my car to run this year,you can look in my sig,all the stock that you see was bought in less then 6 months.I dont care to do the job twice if my opti fail in 1 year.
Ok now that you got the point here is my questions:
-Do i need to tear everything apart (crank pullye,water pump) to install the cap and rotor?Or can i get away with it?
-I got a clamp block include in my kit and i dont understand the purpose of this small thing and also where and how to install it?
-And since my car is 86 000miles and its the original water pump, could it be a good idea to change it?
Thank you

Re: Do i have to tear everything apart(cap-rotor)
The small block that came with the capand rotor kit is supposed like it wrote in the instruction:***the clamp block goes in the cap tab between the wiring harness and the coil wire tower***
So still dont have a clue?
For the rest i will tear everything apart and also gonna change my water pump.
Does a rebuilt one is good or should i buy something like this one:

Re: Do i have to tear everything apart(cap-rotor)
Just did this job 3 weeks ago
You will need to take the water pump off , air pump ,pullie . The air pump has bolts that go to the water pump, so thats why it needs to come off,as for the pullie well its 3 bolts then you might need some one on top and one on bottom to pry it off then off comes the opti .
I took my opti apart and cleaned it (if you do this just watch out not to bend the disk's inside I used gas worked great. hit me up and I can tell ya step by step if you want 734-347-0586 Thanks Al

As for the water pump you can get them on ebay . their is a guy on ebay that sells them that lives up by my job , great guy to deal with you can get it at a good price. He can also sell you one with out the guts if you go elec.
Got one from him this past winter and had a place try to press out the impeller and cracked it . So i called him and he sold me one with out the guts If you go with an elec make sure you have a place weld the drip hole on the water pump.

Re: Do i have to tear everything apart(cap-rotor)
Does a rebuilt one can be good???Like this one i found :
Professionally Rebuilt unit and includes new high performance bearing, seal and gasket set price 59.99$ +shipping
Or should i stick with a factory new one?
or
An electric one but i would like to find one already mounted to the lt1 housing(yeah im kinda fastidious)
