Witch means pulling the head. It sits under the head in front of the head gasket. | | | 02-19-2016, 08:50 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Heater hose on bottom of Rad | | | 02-19-2016, 08:39 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 | 2/19/16 update: Found the issue, the thermostat was held and secured by silicone someone put on after it was intact. I took the old one off and cleaned the $H*T out of it by removing the silicone and other stuff off the front seal. once that was done I didn't "over tighten" anything like that. Also the water pump someone decided to strip 1 of 4 bolts and I attempted to helicoil the new one in place and it held so next what I will do is time insert once I rip it apart again. For now, no leaks I am still praying for now. __________________ V2 in progress.
