Re: Replacing the coolant crossover pipe
Hey Guys-
The cold weather has caused my 2000 to leak, and I've been calling around for quotes if this is the issue. (I'll discuss that leak and location with pictures in a separate post. )
I called a former Oldsmobile dealer, probably the largest in the Twin Cities area and spoke to a tech/service adviser. He mentioned having to remove the entire intake manifold. I mentioned does the rear exhaust manifold need to be loosened/touched and he said no. The only thing I can think of by pulling the intake manifold would you have enough room to remove all the bolts except the "middle bottom" and then rotate the cross over enough to slip new gaskets in there? Maybe the cross over really doesn't have to come completely out from under the big exhaust pipe? I thought I'd throw that out there.
