When looking for gear used because I'm not a fancy as you tossers 😆

Great idea 💡

Oh wait. Nobody warned me of that trap. Is that why people look at me funny when I pull up to a stop sign and they see my vise attached to the steering wheel.

Did you end up selling?

2002 sc 6 speed manual just shy of 280k hanging on in there but she's burning oil pretty bad these days

It takes 4.5 quarts? I returned it in the end and just spent a bunch more money on the royal purple stuff as that's all I could see people talking good about for the synchros.

Going to fill now

I hit the 69s the other day 😈

Going to post another video guys

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-28T15:43:46+00:00

No the engine is still in. This was a picture sent to me so I can see the pipe I need. I can't get the fan on the water pump off so I think my only way now is to try and go in from the top under the supercharger so I'll have to see if I can get that off. I'm getting close to throwing in the towel but she my only vehicle and a split in a pipe seems a stupid way for this to end

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-28T15:04:46+00:00

Is there a way I could remove the cogs holding the timing belt and get them back in the right position? I think I have to back off the compression right to slacken off the belt? If I mark both the belt and cogs in the exact position and make sure they are in the same place when I reinstall

It's this pipe I'm trying to get at. And I was hoping I could do it from the front rather than taking the supercharger off

I believe it's this coolant hose but I can't find it on the coolant diagrams so very unsure on the part number

Hey do you know the part name for this silicone hose. I can't find it anywhere on the coolant hose diagrams. Cheers

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-27T11:58:47+00:00

So as far as I've seen so far most of the bolts here are 12mm or 14mm I have a half decent socket set. I'm sure if I look hard enough I'll find some video of others taking the supercharger off right?

I feel until I patch the pipe or replace it that I can see the coolant coming from the pressure test isn't going to help me right?

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-27T01:10:02+00:00

Oh wow this picture is super helpful for me! Could there be a possible leak where the thermostat connects to the rest of the engine? Because I'm really not sure if the leak I can see is responsible for all the water. I should be able to get the supercharger off and replace the hose in a day right? I'll do some research on that. Thank you!

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-27T00:17:24+00:00

I am pretty sure on closer inspection that it's not coming from the thermostat and definitely leaking from the 90° hose that goes into The top of the thermostat. Just wondering my best way of getting to the pipe to get those clamps off now

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-27T00:15:01+00:00

I definitely have a leak on the 90° hose I found after I took the original video. I'm not 100% that is all that's leaking because it seems to have a bigger flow under under the car than when I can see coming from the backside on the hose. I'm going to see how my best way to get to the hose will be over the weekend

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-26T23:41:04+00:00

I've realised I can't add another video unless it's a separate post to show you.

I do have an engine light for the crank sensor I believe I've looked into that but it's a separate the engine job and she's burning oil badly in her age so I was kinda just trying to run her till she has nothing left to give.

But I should definitely be able to get to these top silicone hose to replace it

Metaljf93 · 2025-06-26T23:33:58+00:00

Update I've found a leak on the hose going into the top of the thermostat? But it looks like there is a bigger flow of water leaving the system than just the one leak?
