rad-leak 0595 Day 4 - Odd job day… New small coolant hoses (all 5/8”) were cut to length (3.5” and 2.5”) and installed on the cleaned-up coolant pipes. The aluminum air cleaner was quickly polished up. The hood prop rod was repaired with the SSC parts and PCV valve, disty cap, and rotor were replaced. The crank pulley was loosened by putting the car in 4th gear with the parking brake set. This worked to my advantage since the car was parked on a slight incline and the weight was on the brakes already. Turning the bolt CCW caused the car to want to reverse, so there was hardly any crank movement. After a few good heaves on the ratchet, the bolt was free. I thwacked the pulley with a small hammer gently on both sides to break any rust bonds. Contrary to desires to pry or yank the pulley off, only very slight, gentle shakes made it come forward. I pushed it back on for now and rotated the crank to TDC and verified with cam and by looking in spark plug hole. Lastly I experimented with cam degreeing and planned my attack on the head disassembly. I held diagonal cutters in the lash adjuster groove and used a wrench to pry up on the lifter against the diagonal cutters. Worked great – popped right off. I reinstalled it by sliding it in from the valve side and when it stopped, I gently tapped it in place with a small hammer. Perfect! Now how to compress those valve springs…. Day 5 - Odd job day #2… Radiator was taken to a local radiator shop for evaluation and repair. In the picture is the slow weep area... The guy glanced at it and said it was beyond repair – WTF – it does not look THAT bad! I was quoted $500+ for a new one or $400 to recore mine – screw that! I ordered a new one from Rockauto for 160 – either that one will work or the weepy one goes back in along with some stop-leak stuff. New spark plugs were gapped to specs and reboxed.
