finally moving out

[89IROC&RS]

well in that case it dosnt sound too bad, i thought it was worse, but you should probly deal with it as soon as ya can, and stick to short trips keeping the coolant temp down as much as possible.

[blueturtle]

coolant stays at a steady 180 and when its cold out 165-170

[89IROC&RS]

well the point is that the higher temp the coolant is at, the higher pressure it is under, and the more of it will leak through the failed gasket. so lower temps will lessen the damage caused by coolant in the oil

[blueturtle]

oh ok, thanks man i pured some of that C2 sealent shit to take care of oil leaks that might of helped a little, but like i said i am gonna rip off the heads this winter and fix all that prolly just gonna rebuild the whole bitch while im at it

[89IROC&RS]

probly a good idea, new bearings and all

[blueturtle]

yeah, plus will be a good learning experience since im looking to get into this business.

[89IROC&RS]

no better way to learn than to do, just dont be afraid to stop when ya dont konw what to do, and find someone who does and ask. pride just increases the final cost of the project.

[blueturtle]

yeah, i mean if i can get it all dissasembled then all i have to do is put it back the same way i just gotta find out all of the specs of what to torque things down to and how to properly install things like what kinds of things get diff lubes and all that ish

[89IROC&RS]

lol, well, it is technicly supposed to be that easy, but trust me man, it never is

[mike123]

check your oil see if its mixing coolant or not , if it is stop driving it! if not plan a weekend to change the gasket

[blueturtle]

well you see the coolant isn;t mixing in the oil yet so like i said ima just ride it out till winter since ima just rebuild the whole bitch if when i rip the heads off the pistons are lookin nasty so i think it should last another month or so before i pack up the car into my garadge since ive got another car all lined up
