I replaced my radiator about 10k miles ago and I have small leak I'm not sure where its coming from. It looks like the leak happened a while ago and I haven't lost any more fluid since I first noticed it a few weeks back. Coolant is up to the radiator cap. The coolant level seems to be just a...

Okay that makes total sense. Thank you!

Hello brain trust, I just finished replacing front rotors, bearings and races in my 2004 lx. My drivers side was 64 ft lbs on the adjusting nut for 14lb break away. Then after setting the lock nut my break away was 14.5ft lbs. The passenger side was 71ft lb for 14 ft lb break away and after...

Thank you all for your responses. The tensioner assembly looks pretty good the assembly is not off its axis by much if at all. I figured out I bent the pully while trying to get the bearing out. I also tried the Napa bearing but it was the same effect it wouldn't spin when attached to the...

There wasn’t a spacer that I saw. That’s something I was wondering maybe I dropped a spacer or something but I don’t think so. I guess I need to try a different bearing and if that doesn’t work a new tensioner.

The tensioner was within spec. It was providing the appropriate amount of tension. The pulley just sits too close and rubs on the bracket now. The new bearing supposedly is the same dimensions as the old one but I guess not. I’ll try a different bearing but maybe I just need to get a whole new...

Hello, Everyone I'm hoping the brain trust can help me figure out what's going on. I have an early production 2004 with the 4in pully. I removed the drive belt tensioner pully and pressed in a new bearing. The bearing I pressed out was a NTN Bearing 6203LLH 17x40x12. I replaced it with Nachi...

Okay, thats good to hear. That was the motor replacement correct? You didn't need to replace any capacitors?

After some searching I finely found this thread. My engine temp gage went out for the first time yesterday then came back on later in the day. I didn't know there were "known" issues with the gauge cluster until now. You all seemed to be on the heals of the problem. I'm hoping someone has made...

I got everything cleaned up and put back together. I pre-marked my torque pattern to avoid a mistake. Remember. When checking the fluid level get your vehicle up to temp and open check valve while engine is running. I opened check valve with engine off and i lost a little over a quart. I...
