…also, an update on the SVX. you all care, dammit. admit it.
I drained the coolant and filled it with water and some magic radiator-cleaner goo. it says to run the engine as normal for like 3-6 hours with this junk in it. So I drove around on it today. went to see Seth for lunch and then poked around at a few dealerships. The temperature rose a couple times when I came to a stop, but not too high. And it was HOT out today. high 80s. The temp went right down when I started moving and the water pump started…. pumping. The coolant was clear when it went in, and is a sickly orange right now. That will be that much more crap that leaves the engine when I drain it and put coolant back in. For all intents and purposes, the cooling systemis fixed (w00t). Now all that’s left is the transmission. Oh, is that all?
congratulations!!! I’ve also heard that popping out the drain plug on the block can help get shit out of the cooling system.
Lol… Good luck with your automatic subaru transmission. haha
Thanks for the tip. I never thought of going after that. I’ll give the engine plug a shot.
And now that I have a daily driver, I’m pondering doing the 5mt swap =x. failing that, I’d at least like to get the auto back in it. with 4.11 gears it’s no slug
there was a thread about it on the USMB in the new gen forum if you ever go over there…
