EF my muddaEFFING life....
It was suppose to be the startup weekend for me..... guess what? nope nope and nope. Got all my parts in and proceeded to install them all and start her up. got out in the garage, hmm... let me start with the easy bit first. let's install that AC line. *after joking with Daniel that it'll be funny if that turned out to be not so easy* ......yeah.... NOPE not gonna be easy. snapped the studd on the hard lines so F***..... ok well it's just the start of the weekend, lets not get too down. moving on the the power steering line. GAWD that muther******. I cursed at it for about an hour, scratched up my hand reaching into the depths of no return. Finally got that bish on there and was feeling good. Now, all that's left is coolant, tranny fluid, and oil!!! lets get'rdone! proceed to pour the coolant into the radiator... going... going.... and drip... drip.... drippppp.. .DRIPPPPP... FROM MY EFFING WATERPUMP!!!! FML this car's gone be for sale or set on fire soon enough.... ugh..... not sure what went wrong but I'm gonna have to tear the timing side apart and check the water pump/gasket for defects/leaks etc. so I won't be finished anytime soon.

Should be something simple like gasket or wasn't tightened down enough. OR just ignore it and proceed, either way.

I'm not a certified mechanic, nor am I a certified adult so both would be welcomed. but I'mma get back in there and tear it apart. I might've missed a gasket or the gasket could just be bad. who knows? i was working with 2 BEAMS, maybe I replaced everything on the junk redtop and not my greytop. lol -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
