Looking for tech advice

White Pearl · 07-19-07, 02:10 PM

Just wondering who the technical wizard is on this forum. Not looking so much for performance mods as I am on freshening up the 91( i.e. timing belt water pump at 100K) What are some of the other Legend specific things I need to do at 180K. Of course I allready know routine car maint (engine oil/tranny/pwr str/brks,etc.)

Check cooling system - are the hoses ok?

Replace coolant.

You need to inspect: (a) the A/T rear mount, (b) radiator top tank, (c) remove cruise and throttle bracket from radiator, (d) inspect coolant by-pass inlet pipe (vertical pipe way under throttle body) for seepage, (e) prepare for main relay failure. There is a HELM Service Manual on this site from which you may download the page listing the 90,000 mile service. This includes timing belt, H20 pump, sparkplugs. You should have already changed all fluids and filters.

I say unto you, oh Legend brother, that when posts start appearing pertaining to a particular problem you had best order the parts as you will shortly be performing the same repair.

I am not a wizard, I am an itinerant court jester.
