    what to do @ 245k

    my 90ex i just bought has 245k on it. Im confident its still strong although it does have a light tapping sound from engine. It did pass smog and has no leaks( that i have seen). there is old oil around under the distributor. perhaps dizzy seal or something? Anyways, what do you all suggest i perform to the car to help it out like seals or something

    We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls.

    replace the seals? the dizzy o ring is prob. shot. thats an easy fix. take dizzy off and remove petrified o ring and slide new one on. Idk 245K is high mileage regardless if the car was taken care of or not. Might need a rebuild soon, since it is kinda high. Unless you have meticulous records, I would just make sure the basics are covered such as fluids, belts are good, timing belt especially.

    If it passed emissions, thats a good sign. The tapping could just mean it needs a valve adjustment. But first and foremost, change out all the fluids w/ fresh stuff....and check all the little things you can.

      That is most likely the distributor o-ring...and is a sign your other seals need to be replace...or it was missed...prolly means your t-belt is due/over due.

      This is an interference engine btw.

      I hope you know when the t-belt was done last. If not...do it. AND all the seals [crank, oil pump, cam, valve cover, upper spark plug seals, lower spark plug orings, rear main but you'd have to take out the tranny for it so maybe not], water pump, t-belt pulley and tensioners,

      ALL your fluids, switch to synthetic after replacing the seals, including tranny fluid if manual, FLUSH don't just drain and fill if you have an auto...basically drain and fill 2-3x's to get the fluid red or almost red when it comes out...then do no more d&f's...

      tighten the muffler bearings up, and fill the headlight fluid sorry that was lame...

      seriously also maybe an alignmt.?

      wouldn't recommend a power build unless you rebuild the engine...but for long lasting just do the maint. items.

          change fluids especially oil and coolant to prevent blowing a head gasket.

            Everything mentioned above, but also check your thermostat, replace your air filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, and a complete fluid flush, brake, power steering, coolant, transmission, & oil. Clean out your egr ports, and also have your fuel injectors cleaned & flow balanced. Due the most critical things first, and work on the list, while maintaining proper service intervals, and you will have a damn reliable car you can be proud of.

                Besides the drive train I'd take a close look at CV boots, and the upper control arm and lower ball joints, make sure the brake lines look ok too safety being more important than just running. If you take it in for an alignment any decent shop, or a crappy one trying to oversell will take a look at these parts.

                  or buy from tasauto, or other stores...though I'd recommend tasauto first...I got a good price from them!

                  Then all you pay for is parts and the alignment...you would nee an alignment after replacing ball joints.

                    This is probably a thread jack and I'm sorry for doing so but:

                    How much is a usual valve adjustment for our CBs?
