i'm dealing with several problems here. Hopefully someone can help with some (or all) of them.
1. my car is leaking coolant. its coming from the back of the motor, the heater core hoses to be exact. I replaced the hoses (and it still leaked) then bypassed the heater core thinking maybe that was the culprit. I can see drops coming off the hose and a little oozing out the end of the hose but i've tightened it down and bought new clamps. Is it possible i've bent/cracked the hard line thats on the lower intake? and if so where could i find a new one? (JY?)
at first i thought it was my lower leaking, which is possible although i dont see how it could make its way UP to the hoses then.
2. I dont know what other peoples cars sound like but let me describe mine...lets say i'm driving around and i hit 4th instead of 2nd (somehow). The car would make this *putt putt putt* (like the engine was under too much load b/c it was in 4 instead of 2nd)
when my motor was stock it would do this if the RPMs were under (lets say) 1500ish.
Probelm: Now with my P motor it seems to do it even around 2K if i give it gas.
am i explaining this well enough, cause i just got off a 10hr shift...????
3. i pulled my plugs and the strap was a greyish/whitish color. I was expecting a tan color like before. I asked the guys at NAPA while i was up there and they thought they were fine. I "might" just be paranoid
The car got up to 230ish a month ago, replaced the radiator now it runs at 180. Stock fuel system and pump.
Mods: gt40P heads and intake, stock cam and rockers, UD pullies, 94/95 mustang 70mm maf,12* timing, AC/smog delete.
