Re: Replacing the coolant crossover pipe
Krivasauto and other "Intriguer's" with coolant leaks,
I didn't want to scare you away from this repair by stating that it took me 14 hours. Looking back could I have done it quicker? Yeah, I probably could have done it in 6 hours had I not lost one of the RM bolts, and not fussed with being so meticulous. If you've got recent experience with swapping the whole engine, I am sure you have the skills to do it within 6 hours also.
later, Steve
PS. It's been awhile since I did the repair. Not a drop of coolant lost!
PPS. Bummer about the head gasket! may end up changing the crossover gaskets anyway.
