Before I install...

[truoss]

I just learned that my GSR has more than 60,000 miles. What would you all do before installing? Should I replace the timing belt? What else? Also, what do you all recommend I use for engine oil and transmission fluid. (I have LSD tranny)

Thanks

Front main seal, Rear main seal, 10W 40 synthetic MobleOne or better, Synthetic Manual transmission fluid (B&M) Or (Red Line)

Sorry...I don't know much about engines. Where are those two main seals located?

Thanks

Front main is where the oil pump is, rear main is where the flywheel is. Get a helms, it does wonders.

for 60k i'd just recommend a timing belt and water pump.

i agree with everything everyone has said already. Waterpump, timing belt, main seals, maybe some new gaskets, new fluids etc. It'll be a good idea to check a service manuel and see what they recommend to be changed as well!!!

which lsd do you have? honda oem? if so, use honda MTF for your tranny fluid. i like to use redline or synergen for motor oil.
