Re: Drive train and cooling system problems

Call up a vender and get a "water pump master repair kit". Tell them 
you also want the bearings and "O" ring for the idler pulleys. Replace 
the water pump and all of the hoses and seals on top of the motor. In 
replacing hoses on a cooling system you must replace ALL of them 
including heater hoses. If any one should leak you lose all coolant 
and they are all the same age, probably 20 years at least. In tearing 
apart the top of the motor you will correct any problems as long as 
you are there. It is also a great time to replace the ignition wires 
and plugs because it is so easy now to reach. Testing and cleaning the 
injectors is also a good idea as is replacing all of the vacuum hoses 
under the air intake. New belts, new otterstadt, metal header tank, 
and a Fanzilla will make your cooling system "bulletproof". Before 
replacing the clutch make sure the hydraulic cylinders are functioning 
properly and don't leak.
