Good news though, Possibly closing on a house here in the next month (then getting married Nov.29th!) EESH gunna be a busy month...
But this house has TWO two car garages, one with 200 amp service to it! Should HOPEFULLY be able to get my truck into a garage and start working on it soon!
No such thing as a "newbie" question around here, just evidence of someone who knows enough to ask when encountering a new situation!!!!
As for the broken stud, plain old WD-40 probably won't do it! You need a good penetrating oil designed to loosen rusted pieces! I use a product called PB Blaster, might want to try it or something similar. I believe that the WD company now has a product out that is a penetrating oil rather then just the usual WD---
Bad news... taking the old water pump off, broke one of the bolts off inside the block:mad:
Bolt was rusted pretty bad and snapped flush with the block. Been sprayin it every couple days with WD40. Need to get a bolt extractor set then back to work.
Question... How worried would you be it you were to have pulled a water pump off and RUST fell out! I am not looking to tear this motor apart and do a full rebuild right now if at all possible... Would you feel confident in doing a good coolant flush?
