Dave, after I talked with you this afternoon nothing much changed. The overflow tank didn't appear to have a crack so I put it back in and filled it up. I burped the system and filled the hose by the throttle cable, capped that, then filled the AST, capped that, and then I filled the filler neck in the coolant fill, waited for a few minutes and then capped that. I was hoping that the car would at least make it home(about 20 min.) and it did, but as soon as I got in my damn driveway the damn coolant buzzer came on Where the hell is all of my coolant going? I am not sure if this would help the car to overheat but I think that my air pump might be dead, when the clutch on the air pump disengages it screeches. If it were bad could that have anything to do with it? I guess I will pressure test it tomorrow, and see if that tells me anything. Oh yeah the coolant in the overflow tank was dirty as hell, could this mean a clog somewhere? I don't know I am just eliminating every possible scenario before I get a new motor. Thanks for all of the help guys.

 

Take it to rikkiville--he knows what he is dong.

 

Jesus dude, how many times must I tell you?!?!?

 

Hey, you got the PoMan Water Injection. Why pay $1000 for Aquamist when you have this for free?

Better call up Ray at Malloy and reserve your reman motor. In the meantime, do the block weld.

 

Ok greg---your starting to get annoying with moving the threads,this is the north east section and we try to help each other out.So keep it real ,when people need help or parts leave it alone.

 

Did you find a hole in the radiator? Ryan mentioned something about it to me earlier today. If you found coolant near it that would be the next place to start looking.

 

Dave, I had great news before I went to work and it is killing me to wait until tomorrow, but I just got home so I guess I will have to. Anyways, I pressure tested it up to about 17psi, and it held for like a minute and started losing pressure, and then it started to fall slowly with no leaks visible so I was like **** it is going into the motor through the damn seals. And then about 30 seconds later I hear a dripping and I look under and in one of the holes in the plastic protection piece under the car coolant was leaking out like it was it's J.O.B So I called Ryan with the news and he said that it sounds like it is definately a leak somewhere, so tomorrow you know what I will be doing I will keep you posted, thanks again for all the help.

P.S. Greg, I know it is not my place but damn dude I don't see why us guys in the NE section can't trouble shoot with each other, it is not like that section is blowing up with too many threads. I am not trying to be a dick or anything, but Dave and Ryan have helped me out a lot, along with the rest of the NE guys. Thanks guys

 

I think maybe Greg is doing this to benifit the other 3rd gen owners who would maybe find something in here useful. I agree though. I would prefer to keep it local if ya know what I mean. Call me if ya get it figured out Dustin. We will be at the track on Sunday if your interested in coming down.
