Pump and rust

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

This car was still running the original fuel pump, it has been a problem the whole time so a new one will fix that.  The main coolant tube will also need replaced, rust has done a lot of damage here.

The oil pressure relief valve was not moving into a position that would allow it to open.  A little pin and JB weld has fixed it.

Bad Pump

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

The problem with the car is the oil pump.  The pressure blew out the oil pressure line running to the oil pressure guage.

The oil pressure keeps building up so much that it is blowing the gasket on the oil filter out.
