Back door and rear passenger side door latch spring replacements. No more climbing/reaching through the disco to get the doors open. Cheap part, lots of labor. Helpful tips: take lots of pictures of the linkages, and spend some time understanding the latches before you put them back in because they won't always work the same after installed. I had to do some "creative bending" to get the latch to operate after installed. The rear door latch is a pain to get out of the door... lift it all the way up, then turn and jiggle until it comes free without forcing it (have faith. it can be done). I also had to clip the hook ends of the springs slightly in order to fit them in. The manufacturer's video was almost no help.

97 XD is getting a HG job this Labor Day weekend! I got it torn down on Saturday with no surprises. I inspected the HG on the passenger side and the outer part of the gasket around the water jacket had a little line thru it (water was squirting out externally). Everything else looked really good with the exception of nearly all the upper intake bolts being on at only finger tight....
Today I got onto cleaning the heads, and upper intake. Tomorrow I'm planning on slapping it all together!

I'm attacking the rest of the HG job today. The hardest part was cleaning the darn heads and the upper intake!!!! They were literally caked in 23 years of crap on the outside. Heads are back on and tightened up to spec. Finishing up a little cleaning on the rocker assemblies and rods. Then I'll slap them in and go from there.
