Nice coolant overflow bottle

The car looks good, glad you rescued it from rotting away!

i drove the car for a while last year and my fc engine decided to have a coolant seal leak. i tried a few things to remedy the slight leak,but they need replaced. i'll be pulling the engine and trans tomarrow. the trans is ready to go in and my new clutch is waiting. before i pull it,i'm going to check the compression on it before it's out. i'll be ordering my seal kit,underdrive pulley,thermo pellet and the 6port actuators from atkins.

i thought i'd do a comp test on the s4 engine in my car. bad news,front has 65psi on all three faces,rear has 70psi. that explains why it floods at start up if you don't do it a certain way, also the coolant leak is in the front. i'm now thinking about going in a different route. since i have the original se engine out and apart,i might rebuild it if the condition of the s4 engine isn't good. i'll be pulling it this week to check it.

I got a lot done yesterday, it's ready to be pulled today when I get home from work. I also have my fc trans put back together and cleaned.
