Re: M113K Into a Crossfire - Journal
Worked for a while this afternoon, and made good progress. Reassembled everything, adding nutserts to the new upper core support panel for the upper radiator brackets. Refilled the cooling system, and ran the engine for about 30 minutes. Fan ran through all of its cycles, and did keep it cool. So, total success there!
Changing the oil, and letting drain overnight. Tomorrow the bumper will go back on, and will also fabricate a new intercooler bottle mounting bracket (unhappy with the one I came up with). Also will fabricate a new upper radiator hose vent piece, but from a metal pipe instead of the plastic one in there now. The stock piece couldn't be used, as the pieces of hose I needed to use were 1.5", not the 2" the stock setup uses. Pics will be posted tomorrow that will make this much easier to understand.
Tomorrow should also include some road time, so hopefully I can get back to figure out what is going on with the transmission, which is where things were at, before I decided to spend 2 weeks reworking the cooling system!
