QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Jun 22 2011, 05:30 PM)  The suspense is killing me... You can't bring the V8. Then you can. Then oh oh now you can't! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) The last time I saw it was in Issaquah and it kind of ummm leaked a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Hope to see you (and the car) in Medford. Have a safe trip. Cheers Elliot Damn if I remembered you being so funny Elliot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Yeah I am still not sure. I will probably bring it down. It is running & will be okay for some autoX. Not sure I will trust it for the Saturday drive. I also still have quite a bit to get done on it before I bring it. Stinking water pump still was leaking. Found a hole on the bottom of it that must have had a plug in it before. That was what was leaking on the bolt I thought was the culprit. It was hiding above it & I missed it. Anyway I am trying to find just the right screw or bolt to go in. It's an odd size so who knows. Plus I am waiting on those spacers from Napa. Hoping there morning shipment gets in plenty early |

the hole where the water is leaking from is not on the underside of the shaft is it? that would be the weep hole and that would mean that the shaft seal is buggered and you need a new pump.
if it's on the pump to block surface you need to use sealant on the bolt threads, some of the bolts go through to the water jacket and will leak out through the bolt in not sealed. |

Awesome then I need a new pump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I do have one on a spare motor but know nothing about it. I will pull it tonight & see how it feels. Sucks though |
