Heater box being rebuilt, cleaned, painted and resealed.
All new oem hoses going on along with new stainless steel oem style clamps. New radiator on order and to be installed next weekend,
Not as many seals/gaskets on the older heater boxes compared to the newer ones.
New radiator as the old one was a bit rough.
Time to take care of the leaky front crankshaft seal.
Just enough of a groove to catch my fingernail on. New speedi-sleeve ordered.
Awaiting a new OEM seal to be delivered.
New thermostat and gaskets.
Oil pan pulled to clean it and to address a leak at the pan gasket.
Cleaned and to be painted.
Time to repair the broken heater duct.
First time using a plastic repair kit. Came with a bunch of different shaped metal wires to use depending on the area to be repaired. Worked well. Bought a sheet of 1/16" and 1/8" ABS sheeting to cut and use. Decided to use the 1/8" which was a bit thicker than the oem duct plastic. Took a little bit of heating and forming to get the fit right.
