<div dir="auto"><div> Good work Hans! I too had a successful day at the shop. I replaced in two bolts in the waterpump housing and the leak is gone! We brought the engine up to temperature with (up to) 13# coolant pressure, and no leaks.</div><div dir="auto"> I also found a small fuel leak at the intake of the fuel pump. A couple of spannet twists put that right and dry. With that, we made a few laps around the shop and all was still well.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rick</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 13, 2019, 9:58 AM Hans Duinhoven <<a href="mailto:h.duinhoven@planet.nl">h.duinhoven@planet.nl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="NL" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_-2666518911097195659WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Funny – I solved coolant issues earlier and yesterday.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Had to replace the thermostat housing gasket and yesterday I had to replace the hose connecting the bottom radiator pipe to the waterpump.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">A horrible job to do, as there is almost no space to work at the bottom of the radiator pipe.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Nut with a dry result!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Fully cleaned a clogged charcoal filter and renewed the charcoal particles.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Replaced the oil filler cap and will renew the brake fluid tomorrow.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Then the GT should be roadworthy again.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Cheers,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Hans<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">71 BGT NRG - <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Van:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> Mgs [mailto:<a href="mailto:mgs-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mgs-bounces@autox.team.net</a>] <b>Namens </b>Richard Lindsay via Mgs<br><b>Verzonden:</b> woensdag 12 juni 2019 18:51<br><b>Aan:</b> <a href="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mgs@autox.team.net</a> List<br><b>Onderwerp:</b> [Mgs] Silly error.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi Friends,<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"> My TR6 rebuilt engine leaks coolant.
