ok new opti...wp seal opti seal and crank seal!

ok so upon inspection of my old opti i noticed my timing cover is leaking outta all 3 holes...so i ordered this kit

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FE...5953/?rtype=10


is this the rite kit? and is it a good kit to use?


my oil pan is also leaking so while i have the oil pan off im going to remove the timing cover and replace the gasket along with the 3 seals...besides water pump is there anything else i should replace or do? i dont want anymore oil leaks...im also putting in ngk iridium plugs with taylor thunder volt wires...do i have it covered or am i missing something? i dont want to replace timing chain because i plan on replacing cam next year but just to be safe how do i make sure the timing chain is good?

to change the oil pan gasket u have to take the pan out. i did it on this 93 when i first got it, it was hard as a rock and leaking. changed the oil pump on it sense the pressure was getting down to the 10 lb range at operating temp. have to lift the front of the motor as far as u can, i dropped the tranny half the length of the bolts on the support to get that extra little bit. then had to turn the motor to the right spot to get the crank out of the way. gota take the motor mounts lose, just one bolt, and the exhaust crossover pipe off. i took the start off to gain room. i did change the front cover seals & gaskets, opti, plugs and wires which was fairly easy with everything outa the way. after all that i have a different motor in it now. hope some of this helps.

as far as i know the felpro kit is the only one. same thing the parts store here has to. its the right one for yours if the front cover is the stock one for the non vented style opti.
