| Ardonel | Yo! | 22:03 |
|---|---|---|
| tiwake | Ardonel finally talks | 22:06 |
| Ardonel | How is the weather up there tiwake ? | 22:07 |
| tiwake | cold | 22:07 |
| tiwake | the car I just got evidently did not have antifreeze in it, and froze solid | 22:07 |
| Ardonel | Uh-oh! | 22:08 |
| Ardonel | Not good at all. | 22:08 |
| tiwake | thawed it out and is leaking between the engine and transmission a lot, where I cant see | 22:08 |
| Ardonel | probably popped the rear freeze plugs | 22:13 |
| tiwake | freeze plugs? | 22:13 |
| tiwake | I know the engine has a bunch of plugs on the side generally, but is that what they are there for? | 22:14 |
| Ardonel | it is a plug in the motor block that allows freezing water a way to expand when it freezes without cracking the block... | 22:14 |
| tiwake | well I didnt notice any water in the oil | 22:15 |
| tiwake | but I didnt check the exhaust | 22:15 |
| Ardonel | they only allow access to the coolant system | 22:15 |
| tiwake | best case is that it just popped those plugs like you said | 22:15 |
| Ardonel | but if it is between the engine and transmission, you are looking at seperating them to replace them | 22:16 |
| tiwake | yeah | 22:16 |
| Ardonel | so it is most likely a complete motor removal... | 22:17 |
| Ardonel | What car/motor? | 22:18 |
| tiwake | ford taurus | 22:18 |
| tiwake | 2001 | 22:18 |
| tiwake | the 150hp 3 liter engine | 22:19 |
| Ardonel | v6? | 22:19 |
| tiwake | yeah | 22:19 |
| tiwake | the vulcan engine | 22:20 |
| tiwake | (evidently the taurus was shipped with two different 3 liter engines) | 22:21 |
| tiwake | the vulcan 3 liter has 150hp, the duratec has 200hp... the 200hp one is less reliable | 22:21 |
