Got the air box sorted out.....I see that 98 ST2's can have alternator issues...I pulled off the left engine cover to have a look and fix an oil leak...The previous owner had this cover off for some reason...The rotor and stator look small, only 20MM width...But it all appears good.. 3 ohms between the yellow wires,no short to the laminations and no indication of overheating..I was told to see if it was updated with an oil slinger...I see nothing but fins on the rotor...
And the front head is seeping oil from the head gasket area. Leaks enough so I want to fix it....I assume these engines do have head gaskets? Any thing to look for other replacing what leaks? I drained the coolant, it was clean, the radiator and hoses are removed and the timing belt and exhaust are off...And I can check the valves while the head is off..............
