    I Broke One (Water Pump Bolt!)

    Woah thanks for the help!! Well i decided to give some bolt extractors a shot before taking off the cover. I went and got a set (to make sure i have the right size and i thought they'd be good tools to have working on older cars) of bolt extractors/matching bits and some PB Blaster. I'm gonna...

    I Broke One (Water Pump Bolt!)

    I Broke One (Water Pump Bolt!)

    Ok cool. I guess i'm gonna make a trip to sears and the auto stores around here to try to find some extractor bits and give that a shot since that seems like the first "maybe i'll get lucky" step. What is a good lube to shoot in the bolt hole? P.B. blaster or something? i cant remember the...

    I Broke One (Water Pump Bolt!)

    Well, after being oh so careful, and giving that one last bolt that was on there tough an extra day to soak in wd-40, i broke it. That sucker must have barely been holding together on the inside. The bolt is the bottom one on the left hand side of the water pump (passenger side), its the one...

    Water Pouring from my water pump!

    Ok so a couple days ago i parked in the parking lot at college, and by the time i had grabbed my books and got out of the car then walked around the front of it, a lot of coolant had already poured out, i'm talking a puddle about the width of the engine and it was enough to start running down...

    Clunk! Pop! What could cause this?? (Suspension related probably)

    I put the e-brake on and i also put the car in gear (5-spd). Then i jacked it up and got under and grabbed the the drive shaft with my hand. I tried to rotate it by hand and it had play in it. It doesn't move side to side or anything but i can rotate it by hand a small bit back and forth, it...

    Clunk! Pop! What could cause this?? (Suspension related probably)

    I got under the car today to check the u-joints. I had the car in gear and tried to turn it back and forth with my hand, it has a pretty good bit of play. So would that pretty much do everything that i described in the previous post?? Thanks, -E

    Clunk! Pop! What could cause this?? (Suspension related probably)

    Ok so sometimes when i'm slowing down i feel and hear like a thud almost like my rear end is catching up with my car. Its not violent but it is easily noticable. Also, when i am stopped or going really slow, then i start to take off (slowly even) i hear a couple of pops which also are from the...

    Any Recommended water pump?

    Well it looks like i finally found my coolant leak. For one the lower radiator hose appears to be leaking, but the major leak (gush, like someone turned a bottle of water upside down) looks like its coming from a little opening at the underside of the water pump. Is this what people call the...

    Ran at track 1st time: w/100 shot

    Nice times! Those cars do run good stock, my brother's stock 95 cobra ran 14.1 and 14.2s on BFGs, and not DRs either! Do those cars have hyper pistons? I forget if they went back in 94 or if those are like mine... -GM

    I'm not surprised at all really. If it had been a new rt-10, then i'd be surprised, but not this case. -GM

    Running Hot!!! Why? Please help!

    Make sure you're using a good mixture of water/antifreeze. I was having the same type of overheating problem as well as losing coolant and someone told me that it could be the coolant mixture i was using. Supposedly antifreeze not only lowers freezing point but raises boiling point. Thus the...
