Tune Up

scruffboy · 01-19-2007, 01:51 PM

This spring (or sooner) I plan to do a tune-up on my 89 N/A. I was going to use MSD (or is it MCD) wires and Denso plugs (Platinum plugs, no way I'll pay $13 a piece for Iridium). Now I know I need to change the air filter, fuel filter and rotor. Is there anything else I should think about once I start getting to work on her. The car has 133,000 miles. I'd like to get another 133,000. I change the oil every 3 months. I bought it with 126,000 miles on it. I was told (on this forum) that my head gasket had probably been taken care of by the previous owner. How would I be able to tell? I would like to have the engine running as well as possible before I start making a few minor cosmetic repairs. One more thing. A mechanic had my car on the lift and said he noticed something wrong with the tranny seal. I had the clutch plate replaced about a month earlier. Wouldn't that guy have seen it? I am not leaking any fluids at all. Thanks in advance.
