RE:engine swap thread

Hi,
The three things you want to consider doing while the engine is out is replacing the water pump and thermostat housing with the aluminum parts. The plastic have been known to fail. Also the pre-10/95 S50s all had a possibility of valve spring retainer failure due to the way the retianers are mfgt. Also check the tightness of the oil pump bolts including the gear.
