A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

right today, I managed to make a start on the waterless coolant, ( still more to do mind so stick with me on this one)

shopping list as follows, and why I bought these,
the two new sensors blue for the dash and brown the ECU senor/mpi fan system ( this one kicks in my front mounted fan)
also a new pressure cap as the old one I think maybe on its last legs.
Also with the sensors, the ends looked very shocking off the water, so the ecu isn't really getting a decent reading. .





right moving on, I had to remove my expansion tank as there was still some water left in it, so I took the 3 pipes off and drained the remaining water out, rinsed the shite out of it, that came from the pipes.
so that's now back on


I made a start down here, on the water elbow, where the sensors are.


brown sensor for the ecu, ready to be swopped over


the blue one for the clocks


Now the brown one can make the car run like a bag of shite if sensor is dirty.
The blue one will give a false reading, happened to me before, I thought I had major problems!
so with those two out, and the remaining water dried off.

I installed the two new sensors, I will have to re wire my after market temp gauge, as the blue wire has come off!



then I started to put the pipes back into place again and double checked that they were all tight.
Two were a bit of a fiddle to put back on, but we got there.

my old cap, vs new


the car ready to receive the new waterless coolant,.




topped it right up and started the engine, so that I could let the pump take the new stuff around, also blowers on and heater on hot.
took a bit of a time to get it to burp, as these cars hate coolant changes! they air lock like hell!
so it was trying to chuck the coolant out, I kept releasing the pressure and letting the air out. squeezing the pipes around the engine bay, and we are starting to get hot air in the cab. Still more to come as I think the rad has an air lock in it,
The car seems a lot more happier with the new coolant and when it was up to temp it, stayed there and didn't move, in fact it was like it was been driven.
More to come tomorrow as i ran out of light and plus i want to let the coolant settle. So far its good shit!
