Please tell me you removed the impeller from the water pump before taking that picture, because otherwise the problem seems extremely obvious. (If not: hosed up the flange surface while trying to remove a gasket?)

The water pump I pulled out looked rather new   e: the full size link works for me but the L added to it is showing up as a broken link, if anyone cant see the pic in this post look at the top bolt hole on the last page. INCHI DICKARI fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Oct 23, 2013 |

Astonishing Wang posted:Thanks! That won't really work, as the pump flange won't have a hole big enough for a larger bolt. You drill it larger and install a threaded insert like a helicoil or a timsert. You get one threaded for what the bolt is supposed to be (threaded on the inside) and it's.....some larger size on the outside. The kits come with the proper drill bit and tap for the larger size, so you drill it out (carefully, it needs to be centered and perpendicular) and then screw the insert in with some thread locker (there is a tool to help you thread it in). And, bam....you got new threads of the proper size.

No, the original color was tan and then resprayed red and then the maroon over the red, god only knows what it would look like if I tried to rub it out.

I have absolutely no idea how I managed to drive it almost a hundred miles total like that gonna be honest. e: RE mileage I need to pull the gauge cluster and find out if I can get the odometer working again before I know.

I'd fear that tapping new threads on this glorious bastard would only break it further. I'd just go grab some thread stock, nuts and lock washers from the hardware store and call it a day.

The struts are still fairly firm, but the strut mounts are rotting out. I guess it doesn't really matter because those are NLA SOL. as far as the thread repair I got it helicoiled beautifully and it tightened down perfectly.

The inner tie rod end I've been waiting for apparently is NLA with our parts distributors, Rock Auto has it for cheap but for some reason our parts supplier has a line on an entire remanufactured rack for about $50 more than the tie rod on its own would have been so I'm just going to throw a whole new rack into it. Ordered, a couple days out.

Well if it doesn't I'll just send it back. I've run into screwy deals like that on old cars before so I'll just wait for it to show up. Also, starter just died.

Tracked down the no start to the starter cable to the battery. It melted. New one and the car works fine.

Pulled plugs to check em out and was suprised to not find any fouling even though they looked old. Nice caramel brown electrodesr on all 4, but they were Iridium Plus plugs. Swapped them for some NGK coppers and the stumbling on accelleration is so much better. Still some flat spots in the powerband, but it feels much more like fuel delivery now. I also found I have some minor vaccuum leaks and a possible intake manifold gasket leak with the brake cleaner test. Plus side, theres a mere fraction of vaccuum lines on this compared to my last Civic. And the 2bbl Mikuni rebuild kit is like 8 bucks on rockauto, can even get floats. I've continued flogging it a little harder, testing its limits and find that if I just stay on power through turns it does the cutest little sideways hop to point me in the right direction. So fierce

This is why I run NGK coppers in all of my vehicles. They just work so much better than anything else. That thing is goddamn adorable. Godspeed, Sir Dick. May your new friend inflict no more than a tiny fraction of the pain and anguish (and spiders) your previous project vehicles dealt out.

This could actually turn out to be reasonable old car maintenance stuff instead of the usual nightmare. I feel hopeful that it might not be a terribly wild ride. That said, an ACVW tried pretty hard to kill you so who knows.
