Check you coolant reservoir tank and flush that out. My coolant kept turning brown after several flushes. Turns out that there was a pool of brown mud coolant in the bottom of the overflow tank.
Hey IJ do you follow ARP instructions on going through 5 cycles of tightening and loosening before applying final torque and then after 5 heat cycles re-torque again. (ARP reference below)
Friction
Friction is an extremely challenging problem because it is so variable and difficult to...
One of the girls at work backed up into one of the yellow painted poles at the bank drive thru. We ordered a tailight but how do I remove the yellow paint on the quarter panel?
My system uses one pump and one pressure tank. You have a 90 foot pipe to the surface, a check valve, piping to the pump, a pump with a pressure switch that turns on when the pressure drops below 30psi and off at 50psi and a pressurized holding tank like flight doc89 explained above. The...
This is way off topic but I just had to post this. I feel like I just discovered buried treasure in my backyard. For the last 5 years I have been dealing with a drinking well contaminated with salt, TDS of 1750 to be exact. Due to lack of funds I was unable to drill a new well. In the last...
Yahoo !!!! Thank you DT and SC....My Microsoft Money reached the end of its life and I was just about to buy Quicken when I came across the giveaway.
I do have one issue that I must bring to your attention............ DT called me a "Weiner" !!!! :cry:
Coolant 50% mix should bring you to the proper level. I don't think you need to add anything. I just think you have introduced many variables vs. a simple drain and refill and you need to go the extra mile and double check your PH when your all done.
Having filled and drained the coolant system multiple times with a acid, base, distilled water (neutral ph7), added coolant, you have one hell of a chemistry ??? in hand. I wouldn't take a chance that flushing the system and adding coolant will bring you the the proper PH. When your all done...
Couldn't tell you how to remove the film it but I would be careful of the ph value. I would check the ph of your coolant or whatever you have in your cooling system right now. I believe the ph has to be above 8.5 to prevent any corrosion.
Well I am going to start taking her apart. This would be my first major repair on any engine. I called a few shops but the labor alone starts at $1000. Worst case scenario is I fail and I tow it to a shop so hell why not go for it. I will start a new thread in the build section and any...
Ace Hardware / True Value... Your local family hardware store has a better supply of nuts and bolts vs the big chain store. Anti-seize on the stock bolts works well also.
Here in Florida they make you place fiberglass insulation and maybe a thicker gypsum board as a firewall between the garage and the living quarters. The door that separates the garage from the living quarters is also fire resistant or at least not like the interior doors. Proof positive that...
