Hi, this service is coming up. I'd like to do it myself moreso for learning.
Anyone got a link to a dummies guide to servicing an EECV? What do I need to do? I assume it's just oil, oil my k&n and oil filter? Do I need to do anything else? Also, what tools will I need? I don't mind investing in some stuff like oil sump etc. Thanks. |

If you've got some mechanical skills, I wouldn't be too worried about the headgasket. It's not guarenteed that it'll break like some think, depending on the condition of your cooling system of course.
If you can do it yourself, it's not the most expensive fix in the world either. |
