I appreciate the info Wes, this will be my project for this coming weekend. I'm just hoping to be able to get parts in time.
I did notice moisture from the front passenger steam line above the head, looks like the head is pretty dirty because of it. I will most certainly dive deeper when I have it up on stands and the weekend to work on it.
Thanks again:cheers:
if that line is leaking you can replace the o-ring seal on it, if it was the cause you would see orange stuff, if it is just engine grease I wouldn't worry about it. spray it with some purple power and hose it off and that will clean it up

Sounds easy enough to replace the o-ring. Though from the glance I took, looks like engine oil. What would be orange? The coolant?
I've never hosed an engine down before, always afraid of messing something up. I'll give it a go when I finish the radiator install.

Well, got the new radiator, :happy107:.
Took everything out and was setting the new one and saw the top channel is cut through into the cooling fins, :favorites68:.
Now I'll be waiting until Monday for a new one to be shipped:(.

How's everyone else's day going?

Now I'm going to replace my windshield washer tank and some odds and ends while I wait. Did I mention it's almost 100 here today.

I was seriously debating about just installing it and taking my chances but, I'm just going to wait for the new to arrive.
I really don't want to do this twice.

This sucks.
I had sent them an e-mail before posting in regard to the cut.
They want it back. They said a new one is on the way but reiterated they want it back.
I had called because I wanted to speak to a tech but they do not have any techs on hand and again, stated "they want it back, it is not supposed to look like that"
Now I have to pull it out again. Seriously wtf.
