Afternoon everyone! 81 degrees here in Chicagoland! FINALLY good
driving weather!!
My 2wd Silver 89 is showing signs of engine trouble now. I think it is
developing rod knock (crosses fingers it isn't) I hope it is just bad
valve train. Which is where I need some help.
I have been calling around getting prices for replacement valve train
parts... here is what I have found so far...
NAPA:
Rocker Arms: $6 each - Push Rods: $2 each - Lifters Hydro/roller $16
each
Auto Zone: Rockers $11.99 each - Push Rods $11.99 Each - Lifters
hydro/roller $12.97
Murrays Discount Parts:
Rockers: Left $1023 - Right $10.99 - Push Rods $6.03 each - and they
don't sell lifters for some weird reason
And pep boys doesn't have any of these parts...
I don't know who has the better quality part!? Any input you can offer
is really appreciated. I have to make this engine last... I cant
afford two engine replacements...
Also - what about the intake manifold gasket kit, and a 180°
Thermostat? Prices? Brands?
As always - thanks!
P.S - I will be updating my personal web site soon - and
SaveChrysler.com will have changed uploaded within the next couple of
weeks!
