It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Barb you just kind to go into it with the right attitude…….that at least the first pair of rear tires are kind of sacrificial.
I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

no not yet. had a small leak in the back of my power steering pump that i tried to patch with the jb weld stick. when i put the pump back on the block and moved it to tighten the belt the whole pump in the back split. so not i am on hold again until i can find one i can afford that has pullies on it. i hate changing pullies. but on a good note the radiator is fix and last night i traveled outside my safe zone for the first time in 6 years and had a great evening with my friends and family.BARB

180 is good and up to 210 is acceptable on these. For oil I like to see a minuimum if 15 PSI at a slow hot idle and you will probably see 40-50 PSI at 2500 rpm.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

When you say "rather quickly" Barb, how quickly? Did you change the thermostat? Looks like you are getting some time put on that engine, very good.
