Re: Water Pipe

["James LaLonde" <deloreandmcxii@xxxx>]

You're not the minority Bill,
While you're ALL THE WAY down in that area of the engine, why not 
remove 4 more bolts. I broke a bolt on the pump.. but the four on the 
internal water pipe weren't even hard to remove for me. 
Granted; you can't just leave on out (like I did the water pump's) if 
it breaks.

But be careful Mark, when putting in those little orings.. it's easy 
to knock one out of place and end up pinching it with the water 
pipe... then when you don't test the pressure cooling system and just 
put everything back together... you'll have twice the fun doing it 
all all over again.
But who the hell would put everything back together with testing the 
pressure?? Surely not me.

Step two is giving up and shipping the car to Grady, and spending 
twice what you had expected. And knowing it was worth every penny.

And if you're not already -- give the car a tune up, and replace the 
spark plugs and etc and fuel injectors while you have the intake 
manifold off. Then pray.
