Re: Mystery leak
It's coming out quite vigorously. Could this scenario still be valid?

Re: Mystery leak
Well, I had the wife pour water in the radiator while I looked at the back of the engine. The water is coming out of the bolt hole, passenger side, at the location where the flywheel housing is...

Re: Mystery leak
Hope to at least look at this today but , I was wondering if a head torqued at 35 lbs. would tend to blow a gasket? I've only driven this car a total of five miles and it's had issues right from the...

Re: Mystery leak
I'm not sure. I can see drops coming off the spot where the flywheel housing bolts to the block. I'll try to pinpoint this.

Re: Shifter question
Aloha. Since I'm not yet ready to fire her up this might be the best way to approach this. If indeed I am shifting between the gears, then what? How do I adjust the clutch with this going on?
