I drove this car to NY and back 2 years ago and I was averaging 50 mpg on the hwy.. I changed lots of gaskets in engine. Timing belt, water pump. No...

And, yes she clicks an no start but after a few tries she will crank and turn. But, again no spark..

Would bad solenoid contacts on the starter keep me from having spark? Had been having the click and no start for a few months with her eventually starting for me. Now, she won't start and run for me and I pulled the #2 and I have no spark. I'm getting fuel, just no spark. Where to start, pull the di...

Yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart to have the tires re- balanced and rotated. The technician commented on excessive inside wear on the front tires. Last March, I installed a new CV axle and a month later, I changed out the tie-rods. I was careful to cold chisel match-mark the position of the old tie-rod...

The old click and no start is occurring again. I have to repair these contacts sooner or later. My Mom is coming in for a visit in a day. Should the thing decide to not start - what is the best way to push start for solo person? No hills around, Florida is flat. And, when I pop the clutch do I go wi...

My radiator started leaking a couple days ago on a radiator I purchased last year. My first thought was Chinese crap radiator.. But, after careful inspection I found the leak and it turned out that the fan shroud was snug up against the radiator - TO SNUG.. The vibration of movements caused the shro...

Good call, petros.. I tried hammering an oil pan flat many years ago and made dog doo doo out of it.. It seems you have to have a good eye for seeing the slightest wave in the steel or the slightest imperfection in the flatness of the flange part of the pan.. I couldn't get it right - it leaked, not...

yes, I used a new gasket, the #2 along with a new new tranny pan.. Last year, I put the old pan on with a new gasket, and it leaked like a sieve and that's why I was dead-set on using this permatex gasket #2 stuff.. I have since learned, something - last night I did a look-up as to why tranny pans l...

CJ, thanks for shedding some light on this. I was expecting it to tack up like #1 RTV ( orange ) Its about 8 hours later now and its tacky but its not hardened up like silicone or the #1 that I have used in the past.. This is what I was expecting.. I wish I had known this stuff to act this way.. You...

I did just that.. I haven't run those bolts home yet.. I gave them a 3/4 to full turn, just shy of snug. I figured after 3 or 4 hours it would be tacking up and it doesn't seem to be.. I'm thinking the stuff maybe went bad, by being in that hot shed all summer.. But, then again - it just donned on m...

I installed a tranny pan this morning and the stuff doesn't seem to be tacking up.. The TDS sheet on the permatex web sites says #2 is the slow cure.. It gives no time for cure.. This stuff was in a hot shed all summer and I'm wondering if its no-good.. Does this stuff take awhile? Anyone? :shock: T...

Thanks for the input, guys.. HOLY MACKERAL!!!! I love this car!! :P That was the easiest water-pump change out I have ever done! Good call on the rag catch for all the old gasket material, that made clean-up a snap. :idea: I used coffee filters and mainly positioned them around the timing belt just ...

Yes, I was getting by for awhile with just a drip and then last year I did a few drops of oil in the weep hole and it all went away.. I was able to drive up North in July and had no issues until a few weeks ago. I'm back in FL now and it started dripping again and now with the cold front that came d...

Nah, mine has the same one..
