If you are not going to change the oil pump or timing chain, it should go quicker. How many miles on your ride?

it'd be wise to change the oil pump tho...he has an older car with the weaker pumps.

Also, you might want to get a double roller timing chain.


Plus you'll need an air compressor so you can keep a valve up to pull it all out.


Good luck man,
Craig.

P.S. - Let us know how it tunrs out for you, Post a new thread when you get her done!
