    condensation or water?

    just throwing out a random Idea i had today while driving. I have never taken one of these engines apart so I am not sure how the cover and waterpump interact, but from your description it sounds like the waterpump clamps down the front cover. If that is true is there maybe a high spot or low...

    condensation or water?

    I wonder if it had to do with temperatures like you said. When the engine is up to running temp, and then cools down something somewhere expands and contracts enough to cause a small leak? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Road trip wreck, need help from you west coast folks

    I can go look at the one on SLO craigslist in Nipomo. It is not far from where I live and actually right around the corner from the house I am working on. I know nothing about these cars though. I can check for rust and basic drivability. You may not want to or even be able to drive through...

    extra cooling?

    you are the only one I know of who has had it work. There are a few on here who have not been able to keep their truck cool with those radiators, especially towing heavy and up grades. many have a hard time with a three core. If it works for you great. not trying to be a dick, I really like...

    extra cooling?

    I am surprised no one has said anything about this. I don't know what radiator you have, but most two core radiators do not cool enough. Most people run a three core at minimum with some people running four core. Definitely change the thermostat. Makes a huge difference in how much coolant it...

    Back In the Saddle

    That is very generous of you. I might take you up on that. The part you bought, was it a manual hydro-boost assembly? Where did you find it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Back In the Saddle

    Well my pedal assembly is worn, not terrible but 200,000 miles worth of clutching and braking on it. On top of that I don't have a drill press or a welder. If I need to I will modify the old one, but if I can get a new one for a decent price I think I would rather go that route. Right now...
