well if the rad cap is bad then replace it if rad leaks getto patch it or buy a new one

ps the prop way tp flush hole system is to hate to say ti bring ti to a shop cause they use perures and will flush your system good in less it ntot hat bad then you cna just try reg flush int eh drive way

mr_baboon 07-27-2006 07:47 AM

hrm maybe I'll run it up to $$$$$$$$ and get them to change all the fluids to save me the trouble. I know it cost Tyson about 15$ to get all of his changed.

I looked into the radiator this morning and its kindof ugly.

about 130$ to repair (if its repairable) and 290 for a new one.

Old cars ftw.

TobyCat 07-27-2006 08:47 AM

if it's broke, upgrade it!

I'm gonna attempt to ghetto patch it i think, or get a shop to do it. Gonna rip it out either tomorrow or tonight. (if i get a chance)

Or maybe ill just go with a new one.

Doing the flush myself wouldnt be so hard, cant I just buy a cleaning additive instead of flushing it with only water? its all they would do at a shop :S

either that or fit the garden hose on one end of the coolant hose and run it through the entire system for a bit. that could be fun.

TobyCat 07-27-2006 03:02 PM

A little off topic.

There are tons of Walbro fuel pumps for sale on supraforums, but some do not include the full installation kit. Is it needed?

NashMan 07-27-2006 04:48 PM

kit baaaa just need the pump man as long as the filter bag ant full of junk you shoudl be fine and if ti is nothgin that air hose can't solve oh yae you ned reg befor you put in a pump some time it will amke your car even more rich and that si gay but ti will shoot flames

garend hose is the the home way but if there is alot fo junk in there it going to need some persure to froce it all out plus it

this way you don't have to jack upt eh front end of the car to let the air bubble out some times it takes for ever

reson being the is the teh heater core is higher thent he rad so air will pool up in that arae

put it this way i do all my stuff my self but stil get a muchine to do aflush like once every 2 1/2 year's

ps don't run toyota red coolent it crappy and cost alot green is just fine


oh ya ei on another note fix you oil lines this si wahts is caseing your oil leak i just can see you cam seal dead my mk2 had 320 on it and there just a tad bit fo weep but all seals will do this any way this is how they seal to certon point

if it ant broek don't tuch it cause if you pop the cams off you hav eot re shim it witch takes about ummm 4 hours to 5 hours me doing it and if you don't got the shim you have to order them withc takes time

if you have the speacil toyota spring tool it ntot hat bad but re tighteing lososeing of the caps will where out the thread and strip them over time trust me i knwo :D

oh yae felpro suck ass that shit weesp as soon as it is on and theer injector seal leak liek siv

mr_baboon 07-28-2006 12:08 PM

I got lucky and have a fairly steep driveway at my house, so I figure burping it wont be hard at all...

I see the point with the pressure buisness, but ima just make a fitting for my hose to fit the connection on the top of the rad where the hose goes...then just giv'er.

but yea steep driveway = win.

NashMan 07-28-2006 05:19 PM

best place to flush fomr is the retrun form the heater core or the inlet to the heater core eather or

i think toby enraged has one you can borrow to hook up pm him and ask

Couldn't resist taking a picture of that ;)

NashMan 07-31-2006 06:53 AM

nice

mr_baboon 07-31-2006 12:37 PM

heh, fluke much, I would have never noticed.


On a seperate note, holy crap my valve covers aren't black, that was just the layers of oil on them that I cleaned after pulling them off.

Valve cover seals are back on with some RTV sealant and lock washers/hex bolts..hopefully that should stop the spewage all over my engine bay. Now its just a case of repairing all the sh*tty hoses that managed to crack themselves.

Oh and maybe a B&M oil cooler but we'll see how money works out, I might just replace the oil line + all vacuum hoses for the moment.
