yeah I'll cruze out for a look 2 nite.....BP melling is it?

no coolant smells

yeah we degreased as much as we could but ran out of degreaser. I cleaned the surface of the block where the pump bolted to and also cleaned up the gasket face of the water pump. Yeah I had oil leak from the bottom cam seals so hopefully the new ones will stop that. The things u learn when u pull ur subie apart!! So far so good........no oil leaks.........no coolant leaks...........but every time I go for a drive I can't help myself..........I just have to have a look under there ;D ;D

ok time for a bit of an update.........well after changing my cross pipe seals and changing the thermostat seal I still had a coolant leak and it was comin from round the water pump so spent most of today changing the pump and also did the cam seals as well cause last time i was under the car could see one leaking. Thanks to Stoff for the tools...and Jason once again who saved me when i was completely stumpd on the water pump (never changed one b4).....and also to Emery who had quite an innovative way of getting the cambelt tensioner back in without having to use a vice to recompress it. here's stoffa magic tool to hold the crank while the nut is cracked. well got down to bidness and got the pump out new one in......thanks to Jase :lol: :lol: :lol: Then we started on cam seals which were pretty flogged new ones..... replaced..... that's about when i forgot to keep taking pics.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Emery stopped by to help out with the cambelt especially fitting the tensioner back in cause we didn't have a vice big enuff to compress the tensionor and the nearest G clamp was a fair way away...... Good news is it's all back together now and no sign of coolant leaks.........fingers crossed

you'd get lost driving to MM ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

great day out well organised and so many cars!...awesum!! Some pics from the day!! waiting bottom of Paekakariki hill.........prick of an intersection

I checked under the car first thing this morning.......no coolant leak so far.....looking promising

an a BIG thanks to Jase for helping out ;D

I was thinking that, but does it get right in the recess where the rings actualy sit? did you use a small atatchment? I used a very small flat head screwdriver to scrape out the corrosion (cause it was quite thick) then a toothbrush to clean it all out. I also smeared the O rings with some red gasket shitttt

yep got it all done thank fark...........took about 4 hrs including cleaning up the corrosion on the bolts and O ring grooves.....damn I scraped out a lot of ***t from those grooves. Finished it all off with an oil change and MBL8 Now for the test over the next few days to see if it's fixed the problem

cheers bro........damn coolant leaks........oh well another thing on the list of to do's

I been tryn to track down a coolant leak and noticed a few leakage marks around the seals of that long rectangular alloy water pipe that sits on top of the block......and also coolant marks on the block itself.......any1 ever had leakage here before or heard of the seals failing? I know it will be a manifold off job to fix. Cost of seals and where?...any advice Here's a few shotz of the seals I talkin bout........not my block

the aerial and the motor unit

lol.....thanks viv

hey cheers for that will do

not sure if the motor is still there or not I look this weekend but yeah sum1s just put that stub aerial there

cut'n polished key marks off drivers door......came up nice.

Lookin to take it back to factory..........it doesn't go up and down

ahh ok so boot lining out then I can get at the bolts for the unit?

Has anyone replaced one of these? I wana take mine back to original. Looks like a fiddly job.............tips?

lol ;D

I'd like a piece of this action.......

mmmmm.........good advice cheers just gota make up my mind which option

yep thought about that if I can't get away with running the FPR on the passenger side in a split rail setup

just to clarify.......yes I want to retain the split rail setup but run the FPR on the passenger side rail.............not the drivers side. Is this possible?
