In the 3rd picture.. The lifter on the left is installed correctly... That way the oil can get through...
i just removed the shaft on the oil pump and replaced it with oem stubby. Is that enough?
Lookj in thew tutorial section there should be one there for it.. I havent done it yet soo im not sure...
should i replace gaskets? When putting back the head?
Headgasket and headstuds.

bolts and studs are the same thing right???? lol sorry for the noob question am not into this kind of stuff
Bolts and studs are no the same. They do the same job, but arent the same part. I should have said headbolts, as factory, they are bolts. You can get headstuds, but they are more expensive and are for high boost applications.
So, headgasket and headbolts :P

awesome thanks, i saw the gasket for 10 on ebay and bolts for 22.
Galants '98 have 124 teeth timing belts , right?
do i really need to replace bolts? I already got the gasket set, ut cant find the bolts anywhere, and on the local auto parts are at 6 each. How important is to replace these?
Yes, factory bolts are strech to torque. Once they are torqued, they will no longer be able to torque to spec.

Dealer is your best bet
yeah go to the dealer. I wouldn't trust chain parts stores as far as fastener quality goes.
If you want a set of studs that will last, and can be re torqued over and over again...
Get a set of ARP studs.

So I'm having a similar problem. I'm currently replacing water pump and noticed the balance shaft belt was broken and 75% of the teeth are flat. Reading through this thread I noticed we really don't need to have that belt??? My car has been running fine all this time. I assume the belt has been broken for a long time, judging how the teeth are worn out. (I'll post pics later.) Another question is, I'm going to replace the timing belt since it has some surface cracks and has had coolant leaking on it- what else do I need to replace?

You dont need the balance shaft belt, but if you decide not to put it on, you will need to do the rear balance shaft delete. The car will run much smoother if you do the delete, then if you just remove the belt. There is a balance shaft in the front and back of the motor. The front runs off the balance shaft belt, the rear runs off the oil pump sprocket. If you remove the balance shaft belt, and dont do the delete, you will notice more vibration from the motor as the rear shaft is spinning without anything to counteract it.

You will have to remove the front oil pump cover, so you will need a new gasket too(I think 4g63 and 4g64 gaskets are the same?): http://www.extremepsi.com/store/cust...cat=744&page=1
Good luck!

Since I'm short on time and budget, I wont be doing the Balance shaft delete, the kit is an additional cost. I was planning on purchasing the OEM timing belt which costs around 65 bucks, but that kit from Preferred Components at PartsDinousar.com seems favorable. Is it reliable??? Or, how about the higher priced belts at O'Reilly's?
