Don't fear the oil filter housing gasket
The ZHP has been on the garage since December and I just got around to doing this...
Man , that was easy! Basically remove the air box, fan, alternator and power steering pump. I replaced the pulleys on the idler and tensioner wile I was in there... Both were getting really noisy.
Here are a few pics for those who haven't seen this yet
Look at all that oil! Leaky main seal? Oil pan gasket? Nope! All from that pesky gasket...
With the alt and pump removed the blue bungee is holding up the PS pump
Housing removed and area cleaned up
That thing is huge!
