Item #13 on my "TR Start - to do list" is "fill Radiator". This is my second attempt to complete this step. As some of you may remember my first attempt ended in leaky failure. So I went through all the steps and put it all back together, new gaskets, plenty of goop, let it sit and today was the day. No coolant this time, as one of you suggested, just water. 1/2 gallon let sit, no problem, YEA. Next 1/2 gallon, Stop! Look! Listen! no problem Yea! Next 1/2 gallon, stop! Look! Listen!
It was the "Listen!" that got me. I could hear it, drop,drop,drop. This time I really can't tell where it's coming from, sigh, and I'm getting too old for scrabbling underneath the engine.
It seems to be coming from behind the engine plate? Or from behind the timing chain cover, could that happen? No water in the engine oil. At this point.
Any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts will be received very appreciativly.
I would really like to get beyond step 13! I really do hate do overs!
