Arg, annoyed with myself now!
Was repalcing my thermostat this arvo, all going to plan nice and easy nad looking forward to finishing the job, untill it came to fitting the 'stat and its gasket, I didnt realise the gasket was one that fits 'around' the 'stat not ontop or below but both at the same time, so when I put the gasket in then the stat then replaced the coolant manifold pipe I bolted it down tight and cracked/split the aluminium coolant manifold :( gotta go buy another one now as I doubt you could weld it back up could you? Its only a hairline fracture through it but enough to let water leak out when it exapnds due to the heat. Oh well just having a moan after my unsuccesfull mechanics spell this afternoon :evil3: |
