hey guys, a hose is leaking coolant, its plugged into the firewall(right to the bottom left of the hose that has the mechanical box of somesort), and plugs into a hardline under the distributor cap.
anything to look out for when changing it out? should i even change the hose itself? it leaks where it connects to the firewall itself, not the hose. what to do? |

well I got to fixing this tonite, once the engine cooled off and it was 91 out side. the copper looking hardline it plugs to was bent outta shape so it wasnt a circle, it was all wierd....a few minutes of borein' out the pipe with the needle nose pliers and it was circular again!..checked the hose nothing wrong, so i put it back on with a new screw clamp.
...So far so good, cruised around for about an hour at an outside temp of 89 (yes even at midnight, its this temp lol)...ran it hard about 3-4 times and no leak! The real test is tommorow when i go to school from 10:30 to 12:30, it will be about 105 and with traffic...and no a/c thanks for the tips guys, Brian I made sure to bleed it, the radiator was very low so it took a good 20min to get all the air out. |
