im getting tired.. im going to go to sleep.
please someone magically think of a fix for this. once this is fixed i can tap my oil pan.. run my return line, bolt the turbo on, make the downpipe, set the tune up for boost and be done with it.

The coolant crossover tube sometimes gets stuck real f'ing tight. I had to really REEF on mine to get it free.
Also -if you got the Felpro gasket kit for the 3.0L, it should come with 2 new orings for that pipe.
Did you find anything that looked like a potential source of the leak once you got the lower intake off?
i guiess ill have to try harder
nothing looks like it was leaking. the lower intake gaskets looked great, the bypass hose was the worse thing i could find and it was still not that bad and kind of fought me to come off. There is a puddle of water under the big tube so hopefully it is the cause of my problem but i wont know until i get it off.
and yes, i have the gasket kit so im covered on my gaskets
i got the tube out.. it looks fine.. and the oring is worn but its still good enough to seal, i can tell you that much. ill give it new orings but im at a loss..

i think the only thing left is the water pump
unless it was the thermastat housing? i doubt it though.. i think i would have seen that. The car also lost ALOT of water but you couldnt visibly see it.. as if it was hidden. im going to check the timing belt for wetness
id put it all back together but the Tstat housing has a broken bolt stuck in it... !!! i dont have the tools to get it out and nonone will pick up their phones to help me
i have had the gaskets on the water pump go too you need to pull the front cover and take a look because when they leak the leak onto the belt.
Gaskets smaskets, if you are all the way in there REPLACE THE DAMN PUMP especially if it's more than 80,000 miles since it's last one.

Oh, sometimes you'll get a thermostat housing to seal up with one bolt, good RTV and a prayer, but don't expect it to hold long, or take any hard running.

im not all the way in there right now but i guess your right.. i should change them out.Originally Posted by RoadWarrior222
im not putting it back together with one bolt.. LOL
When you put it back together, put some dish soap on the O-rings to lube them so they slide in easier.
Way less than half a bottle though.... Can see it now...
Help! Foaming from rad cap

ill use soap but i have some nice paintball oil and grease that should do the job.. you only need a super small amount of this stuff to lube an oring up
i think im going to keep tearing into it on monday when i have a jack and some jackstands along with an impact
You'll want a harmonic balancer puller too, and possibly a chain or strap wrench.... though maybe not with an impact.

Oh and if your passenger side mount is iffy or getting on, it's a good time to stick one of those on, since you'll have that off to jack the motor up and down to reach stuff.

This kit works, not sure where you can find it in the US though, might be in Sears, since I see Sears results when I search for it, but then get redirected to the Canadian site which doesn't have it.

To loosen a stuck crank pulley / damper bolt I wrap a power bar in a rag and lay the end against the front cor support. One crank of the engine will loosen that bolt with ease. I take no responsibility for damage to your car
that idea is on eds sight as well but he too is worried about people killing them selves by doing itTo loosen a stuck crank pulley / damper bolt I wrap a power bar in a rag and lay the end against the front cor support.

the impact i have access to will take anything apart.

thanks! but i think the impact will do the job
You can use a standard 2 or 3 jaw-type puller instead of a bolt type puller like suggested to remove the harmonic balancer... that's if you have one.
I think that is just some legal mumbo jumbo... ie "If you kill yourself working on your car, don't blame me..."
When was the last time the timing belt was changed? If more than 60K miles or 5 years, I would definitely change it now!
lets just say i should change it
Thats what killed my Spirit's headgasket in the middle of my last tow. I drove 200 miles pulling over and stopping every 15 miles to refill. Must have gotten a hotspot at some point.

im buying a timing belt and water pump todayy and ill start on that
so when i finished the clutch job, i went for a pee break while a friend of mine put my wheels on. He impacted them on... and now i cant get the last lug off. thats just awesome.. any socket i take to it eventually slips off with either an impact or a breaker bar. i am soooooooo FREAKING pissed
