Probably won't be a puddle, on my SOHC I saw this nice dried up stream and was like oh I guess you would like attention now.

I'm trying to make mine last, man i hate working in the yard, I need to find a garage I can work in and stop with my excuses

Honestly I replaced mine, thanks to Outkasted24 having one laying around that actually fit my damn radiator (aftermarket from previous owner) and the coolant issue seemed to take a break ... and then ...

Save teh SOHC!!!!!
I promised myself I would not touch my daily d but dayum I cannot wait to do the simple mods of the IHE. But first, I need to correct the issues of the engine.

Also on your air conditioning my friend Jay took a hard look at the wiring diagram according to him the both fans are supposed to run at the same time, mine aren't and so my radiator fan doens't turn on when the a/c is on and bam . not happy.

just another something that needs attention ...

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
