Hi,

all that a relay does is carry power from the battery or other

source to and item that needs power. the relay usually has a fuse

on the control side and or the ground side. additionally, the relay

should have a fuse on the hot side of the input for the relay.

that being said, follow the wires from the relay to where they go

and write it down. then you should be able to test the relay and

reconnect the wires and install the burnt fuses. this relay was

most likely wired to the pump for safety and then the radio was

added later. i would seperate these two items permanently.

also check the radio fuse and ground for simpathetic burnout

when the spark shower started.

remember, the electrical wires hold in the smoke. when the

smoke is let out then you have to reset the system so the

smoke can replenish itself.(joke)

Hi,

yes there is a paper gasket under the aluminum

holder for the rear main seal, it is a horse shoe shape.

also buy a new oil pan gasket. additionally, under the

flywheel there is an oil galley plug that has a crush

washer that you should change. check the crankshaft

for a wear line in the mating face between the rear seal

and the edge. if you have to you can reset the depth of the

seal slightly to rub in a different location. some green

loctite on the flywheel threads will stop any oil from

getting through. when you remove and replace the

oil pan, make sure that you undimple the bolt holes

in the pan so that it compresses the new gasket

evenly. more questions? keep asking!!!

good luck

Hi,

that is the newer style eyelet.

if you can find the old style it is all steel

and much heavier duty. look for one in

any clutch car. the eyelet size is a larger

diameter, outside. and i have NEVER had the

old style break.

good luck

Hi,

the studs can usually go in hand tight as above. sometimes

you have to double nut the stud and run it down to the shoulder.

loctite is okay. on the upper studs the hole goes thru to the

valve spring area. the short end of the stud , therefore, must

be installed into the head. make sure that the stud doesn't touch

the spring. this may sound goofy but i have seen many studs

that were rubbing on the spring.

good luck
