So, pictures, the shop manual, and the engine assembly manual did not help...

This is going to be an interesting adventure!  :D

I bet cable tv will be willing to start a reality show and install cameras to film this process.  I am willing to announce it if Halle Berry is going to be my co-host...
:(   I caught the mistake before anyone responded!!!!! :D   Those posts shouldnt count.  Lol.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I got the car up in the air yesterday, removed a few parts. This morning went out, and i found my coolant leak. The damn radiator itself!!  Im taking it out and seeing if i can have it repaired. Im also thinking about putting a different thermostat in there.  180 should be fine yeah?  I think i read somewhere that they didnt have the 160's local.

I ordered  from gn1 and full throttle the 160s...but 180 should be fine...be sure to order a new water outlet tho because there may not be much left of your old one.

Here is one I pulled out the other day...been in there about ten years

Took visegrips to get it out
