Good afternoon,
So one of the previous owners of my 86 Daytona Turbo Z added this 10" or so long extension off the back of the block for the coolant line to the turbo. I never gave it much thought because it worked. Well, I had a new exhaust system welded in and either they bumped it or something in the road kicked up and hit the pipe and cracked it where the pipe meets the block. I noticed a pretty fast coolant leak about a week after the exhaust work.
I tried to heat the pipe before putting a pipe wrench to it, but to no avail, it broke clean off at the block. I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal still because the pipe is brass and the block is cast iron. Well, most of the fittings are brass, and of course the pipe that broke off in the block is steel
So now the question, what is the best way to attempt to remove this successfully? My guess is a couple weeks of treating it with PB blaster, then try a traditional easy out? Maybe there is a better option?
Does anyone have a picture of what the stock setup is supposed to look like so I can set it up back the way it should be?
Thanks,
Lee
