So, Upon starting the car this morning (to see if the battery held its charge, which it didnt, the coolant leak returned. So Im thinking cracked/loose hose possibly? the leak only occurs while the car is running.

Has the battery been flat for a while? If so its a bin job

I don't have the right tools for that at the moment (i am very unprepared )

But, Headlights are Restored, and im pretty happy with myself!, I also got all the dust and grime out of the inside, prepping for the big clean.

it's so sunny that it's hard to tell, but they are more than twice and clear.

oh, and yeah, I know the battery is a bin job. Alternator is cranking fine, my little diagnostic tool tells me the battery, it's discharging at a pretty fast rate, so Once i'm done cleaning her up, I'll fix this coolant problem and get a new battery.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
