WHEN A GOOD DAY GOES BAD
The first day I took this car for a ride was about four 6 weeks ago. I drove it for a half an hour with out insident, and stop a checker for some stuff to wash it. With no hood everyone was checking it out. when I left I decided to put on a little show. First to second was like butter, boiling the tires for about a block. Then what everyone hates that big boom. No power steering, and smoke rolling from the engine bay. Pissed I hit the gas to get her home, which was only a few blocks away, with smoke following the whole way. Pulled it in to the garage, and found this.

Thats right fan through the radiator, and why, maybe forgot to tighten the fan bolts?

NO the damn water pump came apart a 6 month of being on the other car. I guess the pressed on fitting just wasn't pressed on enough. Luckly the fan shroud was there to catch everything. Don't buy a refurbished waterpump, always buy band new. I guess it could have been alot worst, the radiator was stock and I had another one.
Thanks for checking out my site, more pics to come after the new year. |
