Default oil leak and resealing the block?
my 96 has some bad seals so im putting it down for a bit and throwing on the new oil pan and a new timing chain while im at it but i was wondering if its worth it to put an under drive pully on as well?

Depends on what you are doing. Me personally, I had one, but I didn't have any major accessories, so I didn't have any electrical issues. Some people tend to run into that problem..

If you plan on keeping the stereo and maybe upgrading it, then you might want to stay away from that stuff. Seen way too many charging problems, people just want all their stuff these days...

I'm a rebel...I use Bosch +4s and Moroso blue max wires. I'm satisfied with their performance.

No problems with NGK TR55s and Taylor 8mm wires, although some claim that the Taylor wires are crap.

Used them on many setups and no problems yet.

I like my tunes too, that's why I'm extremely happy with how my factory 10 speak system sounds And no stupid amp and subs to weigh me down or take up space

Damn.. I only got 2 Door Speakers.. the rest of them blew out and I removed them. I was thinking about putting in a 8" Sub in the Factory Box and bolting it back in the rear of the Car.. but I'm still pondering that one.
