Well for crying out loud, it sure took me long enough to get around to that job. Finally did it last night, took me maybe 15-20 mins, and most of that was trying to figure out how to move the coolant recovery tank around so it would stay out of the way. Very easy job though. The only thing easier that I've done is replace the external thermometer in front of the radiator, and at least with this I didn't have to lay down on the dirty garage floor. I also got a good look at my wonderful oil-sucking manifold gasket leak. At least I think that's what it is. I'm still going to wait a few days to make the official call on whether the car is fixed or not, the check engine light was still on when I finished but maybe I just need to get the code cleared.
