shakee Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I acquired a pre-owned 3000GT a few months back. The item was in a condition of deterioration and disassembly, hence the price was appropriate. I disassembled the engine compartment, replaced the oil pump, water pump, and timing belt. I have reassembled everything. Additionally, exhaust headers were added, since they were provided with some aftermarket components partly fitted. I rebuilt and reinstalled the starter. The cooling system, intake, and all engine-driven accessories are in their original packaging. I want to confirm that the engine would function post-repair and first attempts, so I assembled a battery and tested it. It starts and operates effectively. I applied a spray of carburetor cleaning, and the engine operates for around three seconds, indicating progress! Given the prolonged inactivity, is the fuel pump likely malfunctioning? I added 5 liters of gasoline, but there was no indication of activity other than applying carb cleaning. I will change the gasoline filter; maybe it will be beneficial. Are there further recommendations or assessments I could undertake? It arrived without brake rotors installed, but with new ones in the trunk. A plethora of other peculiar phenomena. It seems like everything is present. 95 Not Applicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

provideRR Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I am concerned about the quantity of silicone that may accumulate in your oil pickup. Is there not a premade gasket available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakee Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 I believe there is not. It had an extensive curing period; I believe I will not incur any losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

provideRR Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 There are real seals that are already made, but they are pretty pricey. You could also use MD970389 or Loctite 587 Ultra Blue instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
