Waiting for new parts.....

[Radiant-Designer]

So I bought my 15" wheels, they came in and look nice, but may be too wide :( I hope I can figure out something.... luckily no tires yet, but still an investment made.

 

Waiting for my brake kit and 280 MC that i bought from ratsun, along with that i got the push button start and keyless entry system here on Ratsun too

 

Just got a new Thermostat housing and valve cover, on rock auto now pricing out all the gaskets...

 

 

Getting ready to go to CA for work for a few days next week, I may take a day off when I get back to put int he Alternator, the valve cover, and thermostat housing. I figure while i am doing the Valve cover i will check the valves and then do an oil change. Maybe back wash the raqdiator and block too just for good measure.

 

I am hoping that replacing all the thermostat housing and what not I can keep the fluid in my radiator. it seems that every few days I have to put more in, the only thing i cansee is a tiny lil bit leaking out of where the water outlet goes, I used 2 different gaskets, but still leaks a little.

 

i also will probably jsut order new Rad. hoses.

key is cleaning the stat housing and using a good gasket. ,there I like the thicker ones that I use.

 

What is a tiny leak. Is it from housing or the hose?

 

Push button start? Personally I dont think those things are good on a old Carbed Datsun. Maybe a FI newer car.

I have tried several gaskets and cleaned both sides with a razor and wire brush trying to get it as clean as possible, the leak is just abover the Vacuume switch where the housing and the water outlet meet.

One time I tried to remove the temp sender and I did not know I craked the lower housing. I was swapping gaskets to no avail before I figured it out.

 

next time I just bout new lower housings as spares and new Hex nut and temp senders.
