Well I replaced the sensor yesterday and it made a world of difference the engine runs much smoother and the "gallop" sound is gone, only concern I have is that the resting idol is much higher than it was. Is there a reset or something that needs to be done after having this part replaced? I got the part from napa (echlin line).

I started adding AAL to my rear passenger side springs. After 2 hours I got it together but now the bottom of the spring pin is NOT lining up with the axle mount. What do I do?

but i should have no problems pushin the pistons out the top right? i know i have asked this tons of times. hey anybody know of a good write up to do this with? any special tools. first time i dealt with rings before (I hate pullin apart motors...cuz emergency comes up and i never have time to finish up every single time.)
any recommended sizepiston rings i should buy? cuz i dont want to pull apart the pan and the head twice and spend more money on oil and coolant. i just want to do the job once and do it right and get all over with in one solid go.
