This is a fairly easy job. Just remove the oil pan ( there are really no
big interferences) and remove the rear main bearing cap. Check the end
play at the thrust bearing by moving the crank fore and aft to determine
the thickness of washers required.
Look up the spec in the manual and order from TRF or Moss (they carry
std. up to .030" over) and re intall/retorque/refit the pan/oil and
thats about it. Should take about 2-4 hours depending on how motivated
you are.
Good Luck
