Always sux to lose a motor, unless its really dramatic.....and caught on video. But I would recommend OE style mounts if this will be your daily driver. I have run solid and poly, and while they...
Methinx this thread....is ded.
Did anyone start with the simple stuff, like checking the pressure cap? Is there a visible coolant leak? Smell? How could a thermostat contribute to the system not holding pressure? Hope the...
So it was in fact getting spark this whole time?? With all the coil changes, and other checks, did you actually check for spark, or just assume there wasn't any?
We've got 49 views.....come on locals, let's get together in say 2 weeks? Sat the 29th maybe? Mang, how do you like your BB tune?
Yes, this started becoming more of an issue as the weather got colder. Presently, there is the new design (04 up) pump, thermostat and water outlet brand new from GM, and system has more water in it...
CTS data matches what I get from the infrared, still below the rating of the thermostat. The mix may be heavier on the glycol than water right now, but even so, wouldn't the heat transfer properties...
Interesting name you have there.....similar vehicle also.
Are there any east coasters in the D.C. Metro area getting together? Any good wheeling spots? I know there must be some locals lurking in here....
Have to wonder if the harness was damaged in the transfer to the '84. If it ran ok after the accident, then didn't after the swap, like you mentioned, it has to be the installation, no? Doesn't the...
Have we run out of steam here? It's an odd feeling to be the only one trying to actually solve the problem rather than develop a work-around. No idea what would cause significant coolant flow...
Thanks for coming back to let us know what fixed it.
Yes, tested the 2 new ones I pulled out. In a pot of water, they both open at 190, close at 180 or pretty close. By 200 they were both open pretty far, and closed fast when dunked in cold water. ...
Right, has been in the 20's the last few days... And so far it seems anyone with an issue has developed a work around using cardboard over the radiator instead of actually fixing the problem. I...
Granted, I've changed the water pump and radiator since last winter, but there was no issue with heat at all. Gauge was always rock solid one needle-width below 210. It was just fine in the cold...
I have the engine driven fan, it doesn't roar like the clutch is locked up, and even at idle the heat won't build.
Ok, have a ques for the forum nobody seems to be able to shed some light on so far. Have a 2000 Sierra that won't get up to temp. Gauge sits just above 160, infrared on the water outlet says the...
Hey Allen, Bodis22 says he's putting it up for resale, and is still at your shop.... If someone were to be putting together a 40x out of an L76 block, which heads would I want with the cathedral...
