This past friday at the MG2008 John Twist of MG mechanic fame ripped my car to 
shreds.  The only thing that wasn't commented on was my tires.  It was so bad 
that people came up to me the nest day and said things like " wow john really 
ripped you a new one, how are you feeling?".

so combining that with a radiator that I am now convinced needs to be recored I 
am taking it off the road for a variety of repairs and modifications starting 
tomorrow.

this brings a littany of questions:
1. anything I should know about removing the radiator, little tricks etc.?  Any 
recomended places to send it? to stay away from?
2. while I am removing the radiator should I replace the water pump?
3. I am also removing the oil seal on the rear diff.  any tips anything else i 
should replace while I have it apart ie. front bearings etc.?  what torque 
setting when putting it back together?
4. I removed the air manifold and the vacuum connector on the intake manifold 
and replaced them with zinc bolts from home depot. John said I have an air leak 
and I am guessing its coming from here.  I probably should have used something 
different to plug the holes.  What did you use /what should I use or add to 
seal the air leaks?
5. My front bumper mounts are bent from PO can I try and bend them back or find 
new ones? recomendations as to where sisnce moss, BRG, and VB don't carry them?
thanks
ryan
