So I have a bad carrier bearing in my trans (99SE5sp). Replaced the seal about 3 times and gear oil still leaks. First question where would be the best place to order a new one (carrier bearing)? Now while I got the trans out I going to go and remove the engine to have the heads cleaned resurfaced and checked for and compression issues so I can restore any lost HP. Clutch seems to be in pretty good shape for now and I guess I will decide if I want to replace it when its out. I also plan to remove the pre-cats while the engine is out. With doing all of this what are the DO/DON'TS in the project. Any tips on anything while I have everything out of the car.

Whats up man? Long time...

Anyways, seems like youre about to do quite a bit of work taking the heads off... Youre better off just swapping engines in my opinion. You gotta disassemble the timing components, oil pan...youre halfway to a 3.5 swap from that point. Either way have fun. If u do go through with it get yourself a new timing chain tensioner. Maybe look into water pump while youre in there. But like i said, even a dek is $450. Drop it in and call it a day.

Do replace the clutch while you're in there. Dont pull the heads, not worth the trouble. If your concerned about the condition of the heads, do a leak down and compression test.

I actually have the 3.5 that came out of 98Cordto02Max 2002. It was blowing white smoke which we were told the head was gone so he just bought a new one! We were planning to break it down and rebuild it. As far as the swap goes I know you need a few extra things for the 3.5 that cost EXTRA MONEY. Not really sure if the engine had a blown head but either way we would have to get in there and see. So how close would you say that I am to the swap if the engine was in perfect condition! What else would I need?

Well I was going to do it for fun not really concerned about the trouble. I wouldn't want to buy a new used engine only to have it not running properly. I know that I've lost power cause she doesn't pull like she used to even after tune ups (which includes everything)

Pulling the heads because you think it's lost power is ridiculous.
You need to troubleshoot first, there are many reasons for a power loss.

Have you replaced the knock sensor? that's a popular power loss issue.

haven't replaced the knock sensor nor am I showing a code for it. I do have a video for bank 2 sensor 2 o2. I wouldn't think that would cause loss of pop power

pulling the heads is something I want to see if I can do it. it's not just a power issue
