Typing and trying to remain calm at the same time. I finished a head gasket job on my buddies 80 while he was out of town. Like with most HG jobs there was a lot of extra jobs added to the list including replacing all the hoses with new OEM stuff including the PHH. He had the bypass job which looked cheap and horrible. With so much access to the engine we put in a new OEM PHH - happy days....or so I thought. I've been doing some small trips to make sure everything is back together nice and tight and this morning I noticed the small puddle of coolant on the garage floor. I hooked up the pressure tester and sure as sh!t the damn PHH is leaking where the pipe and hose meet. What is even more infuriating is that this join is the one sealed by the OEM with one of their "corned beef can" clamps. Has anyone ever had this happen before?
I'm not really in the mood to start fighting this trough the wheel well. I'm thinking I will pull the throttle body and upper intake. If I remember correctly this should give me plenty of access with less swear words....
