Make sure you replace the intermediate shaft bearings, the hot tank solvent will erode the bearing.  There pretty inexpensive to replace.

Subject: Oil Squirters and hot tanking!

When hot boiling (or whatever the technical term is) the block, do I need to remove the oil squirters? Is there anything else I nee to remove? I've already removed the pistons, crank, intermediate shaft.  Do I also need to remove the intermediate shaft bearing. If so, how do I remove it. BTW, the motor is a 2.0l 16V

 

TIA
