So, I just got it back from the shop to put a baffle in the rocker so I don't get blow out through the breather cap, new rocker gasket, shocks, etc. Get it back and rocker leaking. I pull it today, clean it, Hylomar on the gasket to cover, and grease b/w cork gasket and head (though I ordered a silicone one last night). No leaks up top now, yay - BUT - the bottom continues to leak worse than before? Shop was to pull the pan and reinstall the same with a good felt gasket, not cork. Cleaned it all up, fired it up and within a minute, where the pan abutts the cover plate on the bell housing, oil poureth. What are the chances they simply botched the pan gasket vs. a more discerning thought - the rear seal? I wouldn't think replacing the crappy cork gasket the PO overtightened would result in a bigger oil leak than before.
Bolt seems snug then I was able to give them all just a tug. Unless they simply botched the job and didn't prep it right, my thoughts are rear seal now. Brother. Any idea what it should cause to replace? From looking at the manual the tranny and probably the crank need to be pulled. This is going to get expensive fast...
Also, the pulled and repaired the radiator - neck was leaking and they allegedly rodded it out. Now I am constantly in the solid white broaching 85-90C. ? Any thoughts or suggestions. They installed an electric fan up front, but I haven't been able to get it to kick on. Noticed the black going to ground, but the car is a positive ground?? Seriously? In any event, it's hotter now than before and allegedly has been repaired? Would the fan in front reduce that much blow out from the fan on the crank? Would you want the fan to blow in or pull out if it's in the front? Seems like you'd want to push more cold air into the radiator? Never ends...
