Recommended reliability mods.

Hi guys,

I have a bone-stock, excellent condition FD ('95). What mods would you suggest for reliability? I am actually quite happy with the street performance, so I am looking for reliability only.

Currently, I am running Redline fluids in all locations, have just flushed the brakes with fresh synthetic fluid, and am running Lucas Top Cylinder lubricant in the fuel to lube the apex seals.

What do you guys recommend?

Sincerely,

Rob

Also, do you recommend any wrench-turners in Portland, Oregon?

Look in Faq/stickies and search, beaten to death topic. Check regional forums for shops in your area.

here's a list:
Raidator
-either replace the stocker with a new stocker so you don't crack end tanks, or go with a Koyo/Fluidyne
AST
-Aluminum replacement
SS downpipe
-gets rid of the damn pre-cat
Full silicone/Viton hose job and new check valves, zip tie the vac. lines around the valve nipples
-brings sequential system back up to stock working order
Replace the Fuel Filter

How often do you flush all your fluids?
