Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Latest version of RMS, new AOS (it is out in the open with the engine out), new water pump and low temp thermostat, check all oil seal areas (cam cover, plug tubes, etc.) for any signs of weeping.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, I've pulled the motor out of my wife's totaled '00 C2 and am putting it in a 986. While I've got the motor out, my plan is to clean and "freshen" it. The goal is to take care of any preventative maintenance while the motor is out of the car and everything is easily accessible. I've already installed an LNE IMS bearing, what else would you do?
