So after JUST buying the lift kit, turns out my head gasket is gone to davey jones locker. I'm going to get a head gasket kit, head bolt set, and TC gasket kit all from Fel-pro. Ease of Mind > money spent. Also picking up a new failsafe thermostat and water pump while getting the work done. Also going to replace the PCV valve cause why not. The mechanic informed me the engine needs to be dropped to do both sides, whatever ok. While the engine is out I figured I'd replace the clutch since I have a stiff pedal and there is noise coming from the transmission due to bearing issues.
However I need advice on which bearing to get as well. It's like a scrapping noise while in neutral, but as soon as I depress the clutch the noise goes away. I thought it was the clutch release bearing or the pilot bearing. But recently I've been reading about the input shaft bearing. I'm not sure if I should just buy it and ease my mind, or try and save a few bucks from this whole ordeal.
I just need to keep telling myself that all this work is better than buying a new car.....it's better than car payments....
