Good job man! Nice pic!

[cvc7chris]

Yeah

It looks good

Some Redneck dude tried to race me in the rain with a RWD Ugly S-10

and he ended up spinning out lol

what do ya think about that last picture?

[accordaffair]

That wasn't too hard eh? It's a good practice to keep an eye on your hoses ever now and then to catch these things, before they get bad

[cvc7chris]

i inspected all other hoses down there while i had the intake off so yeah !

if we just had a indicator that told us when shits just about to go bad lol

[AG17CB7]

Damn. I had the same problem with the same hose. It was my first fix-up to my cb. Good job on the fix.

[rudy1980]

good job-- easy fix right

[cvc7chris]

yeah pretty easy fix

just couldn't fine my right tools but i got it done

these 15 or 16 year old hoses lol

[The G-Man]

Which hose was that?

[cvc7chris]

Heater Core to Engine..the hose that connects (on engine side) near the (engine side) of the Lower Radiator Hose..

Under the Distributor..Near the Starter..

[SMseagren83]

Which hose was that?

water valve-to-cylinder head heater hose.

only way to avoid these damn problems is just to do routine maintainence and while doing that give everything a look over. hoses before they give out look old..dry/crusty and buldging. lol then they blow their load.

Good job on the DIY.

Ouch at wheel well rust I need to do that on mine before next June so it'll pass inspection and look good again.

I just find time when I'm idling, waiting for something or someone or just not busy, I throw on some gloves, and grab my engine stethoscope and look and listen to the engine, and look for sweaty spots (slow leaks)

If you can spend a few bucks, buy some cans of carb cleaner, get under the car and spray all that oil/dirt off every square inch you can get to (of metal, try to avoid the rubber/plastic) I think it will hurt those petroleum based materials a little. Once you've gotten all that stuff off, it will be like clean, non slick metal. And later when you are inspecting the engine bay later you can see where new oil has leaked since last you checked.

Try to get the seals that are leaking replaced, its a wise thing to do, and it won't come to bite you when you don't expect it.

i had some Carb Cleaner but im scared to spray it in my engine bay
because i heard stories of poeple getting shit in ther spark plugs and them ruining them

but what's a GOOD !!! EFFECTIVE Way of Cleaning EVERYTHING
especially Oil..

but i doubt it's leaking it's probally just old build up or it probally did leak
and it was Fixed but never cleaned lol
