Re: Replacing the coolant crossover pipe
Krivasauto--
Sorry to hear about that headgasket, and just thinking of the work you'll have ahead of you now is amazing.
I haven't done anything with our 2000 coolant leak either. It's still external, but fairly slow to nothing if you don't use the heat of the car. Using the heat hard causes more coolant to leak. Don't quite understand why, as you would think that cooling the engine by using the heater would decrease pressure. No leaks inside car, or film on the windows. Pretty sure it's not the heater core.
Anyway-- Sorry to hear about that headgasket, at least you have experience pulling the engine. Maybe the front head could be pulled with the engine in the car, but I'd think working on the timing chains would be difficult.
I'll keep watching your shutterfly site for details.
