Thought I'd do a little maintenance on the Cruiser while everything is shut down....like so many others are doing. I haven't checked or changed out my T-Stat in 5-6 years...so thought I'd do that. Found some deteriorating rubber on one of the seals.
Also, was curious what the impeller might look like on my 23 yr. old Water Pump with 316K miles on it. It wasn't leaking and still turned smoothly, but figured I'd replace it anyway. It was remarkably clean and still usable...but I will replace it anyway.
I am also going to remove the Oil Cooler and clean it up internally. I haven't removed it yet...but I am expecting to see a little grunge there.
I am so thankful I don't live in the 'rust belt'...since removing studs, bolts, nuts isn't a concern. A little penetrating oil and they come right off. Then just lightly brush them and put them back on (those that are not one time use).
Got to get back out there and get after it. Might post pics of the Oil Cooler later if there is anything interesting to show. I have all new internals and seals for it.
