Hi everyone,
New here but not new to the Omega world. I keep coming back for more punishment which says a lot about me. ;D

I currently own a 97 Cadillac Catera (fancy talk for an Omega) which is in the middle of some well deserved maintenance.

Anyway, I look forward to picking your brains and leaching off all the tech info here.

Nothing major.
The auto trans was shuddering and slipping so before things got real bad I pulled it down for some much needed clutches.
I tow a trailer with my toys so I will be adding an oil cooler to help with the heat.

The motor has some oil leaks so I pulled it out and will be taking care of them while I wait for transmission parts.
If I have the time and energy I might clean up the ports in the heads but nothing drastic, just a clean up.

All this was prompted by a phantom loss of fuel pressure which left me stranded just before Christmas and since the old girl is 150K miles young she deserves some love and care.
