mine never did, it was just a pinhole type leak at the corner of the block/head junction. id think that mine was a rare case though. i innitially thought it was the 90 hose

kinda already knew that, hence why i asked:3d_frown: it pressurizes the entire system as there is no blockage on the lower hose :kickinthenuts:

is it a real upgrade over vista?

what exhaust is that?

why remove the tstat. i have never had to do that and have found the leak every time. mine leaked in this exact spot, it was the headgasket

considering i have 5 cars and 3 motorcycles. and a girlfriend that also drives most of them...it would take some complicated math to figure that out. my truck has seen 12000 miles since i bought it new in july of 07. id guess i drive about 20000 a year

that is a huge piston... what the hell are you working on?

wont last long, that was my first thought as well, but the hole/nut isnt captured very tightly and has no bottom so it is hard to get a helicoil to stay put. i even tried epoxy it just would not stay put very long.

the center caps as well

wow we all seem to have the same idea, dropped the coolant this last weekend, on stands in the garage right now, lots of parts on the way... more to be ordered on payday

short answer.. no if you want to cut the inner panel and weld it back in place, bodywork, paint...yes you could do what i did.. but it is risky and might hurt your paint...but it is junk anyway soit is worth a try i stripped the headliner, seals and anything flamable off of the top. then...

that is kinda harsh.... thought you were a nice guy:naughty:dont want your brakes anyway you need them to stop your car.:biglaugh:
