Got the rad back from Tom at Osoyoos Radiators. He did a great job of tanking it and removing the one problematic rad cap and installed my temp guage port in the rad tank as requested for 80 bucks.
When I got it home I took an old dull 12" hacksaw blade and used it to carefully rod out the cores. This worked awesome and helped remove some left over build up.
Throttle pedal works now and I installed a coupljng fittjng onto my oil pressure adapter as well so install and removal of engine will be simpler.
The decision has been made and I wont run the machine untill I get the Evan's waterless coolant. This should help in stabalizing tempurature of the engine and make it more pleasurable to operate. Time to add a coolant tempurature guage too however my mechanical with 6foot tube is too short so now it is an electric model I will be seeking....doh!!!
I would also like to add some type of valve on the oil pan to assist in oil changes, something I can attach my vacuum pump to to suck out old oil; however that may wait untill I get a gasket for the pan. I can then add a retun line from turbo.
Seems like machine spends more time down than up...darnit...
oh well kinks to work out.
oh ya..thinking may change the 11/22 gearing from trans to jackshaft to something like 14-16/22 get bit more speed as I have plenty of torque. Then later a 2sp box when one falls into my lap..
Thanks for looking.
