Found a new puddle under the front today... at first I thought it was powersteering fluid because it was oily and clear... then I realized it was oil (bright and clear because I had just changed it)... being parked nose down hill had shown me a few leaks between the oil pan and the block...
I'm going to build one of these Centrifigal Filter systems... http://www.burnveg.com/forum/about4.html I just bought a 108 gal /hr CF from Pa bio diesel. The guy who's on the videos at Centrifuge for Dummies answered the phone and was happy to take his time and talk through the various...
Do it!... then post pics here! I have both water and Oil P on my list of mods... call me crazy, but I just don't like idiot lights either... they don't come on 'till its too late... gauges will tell you the story!
I change the secondary (spin on) in my mercedes atleast once a year... it also has a primary see through that gets changed when it starts to clog... If the primary starts to clog repeatedly quickly (like more often than every oil chainge) I'll change the primary spin on as well... and its...
Fashioned a heat sheild and installed it...
Sprayed it with Rustoleum rubberized under coating... that was days ago and its still sticky... I now officially do not like that stuff.
So I hit it with some rustoeum hammered silver I had laying around, which dried hard on top of the...
Record heat here on Saturday (103 deg F... probably about 80-90% humidity too), and I just relaxed on Sunday... I did pick at a few things while it was cool in the mornings and evenings. Found another coolant leak when I parked nose down hill instead of up hill. Was where the hose meets...
Hoping to see how you work this out... my radiator on my newly purchased m1009 is weaping... and stop leak has only slowed the problem...
Please keep updating!
Don't hold your breath on the video...
Found a weep in my radiator now that I'm driving it a bit around the block here and there... realy can't go to far... I'm still waiting on the SF 97 to arrive so I can register it and start driving it to work... anyways I poored in some stop leak...
Got up early and replaced the belts, serviced the power steering... and started to ponder the mech pump bypass... see this electric fuel pump thread for more on that.
While I was down there I noticed I didn't like the starter wire rubbing on so much stuff and figured I'd put some more black...
Shade_Tree came over today and did alot of the work again [thumbzup]... today we got the mech pump out, fashioned a blank off plate, and rtv'd them in place. Remember to remove the pin that engages the arm of the mech pump... mine stayed in place and fell out later or we would have forgot it...
Wow... 4 pages of licence plates/holders and a bit of cop bashing... :) rofl
Oh and being a Florida resident... I read the florida law, and as I read it, you have to display your license plate if the vehicle is a daily driver... but if you only do parades and re-enactments, then there is an...
I'll probably run it through the fire wall and into the back of the fuse box like you suggested, if I start to blow fuses. I didn't think of that... I'm a shade tree amature afterall!
The relay is an interesting idea that I didn't consider: could pull power right off the 12V hot bus and...

Did more on the electric pump yesterday... posted at thread above with lots of pics.
Need to make a clean bypass on the mech pump... does anyone know where to find a 3/8 barbed fitting with a female side that...
I was hoping to find a wire in the engine compartment to save going through the fire wall... i think I'd have to pull the fuse box off, run the wire through the firewall, and tap it in the back of the fuse box to do what you are suggesting... or could I just add it to the connector? Please let...
