Coolant Reservoir Bubbling and Filling Up.

Lol maybe I'll finish that writeup this weekend. Here's a timelapse for now:

Edit: I replaced the video on YT because of a mistake in the sound levels. To the reply below: Thanks for watching, and holy cow, I sure did learn a lot!

 

Cool video. Sucks you had to go through that. I’ll bet you learned a lot.

 

Nice one. What a trip haha. I'm making a little slide show (in snail tempo compared to yours), I'll share it once I'm done. Took a friend of mine and I nearly a full 2 weeks - we both aren't mechanics, so we had to take it super slow. Plus fedex lost some of our hoses and currently live in a small Mexican town, so we had to fabricate a few.

All in all, I've learned a lot and always wanted to open up an engine. That said, I don't think I would do this again if buying a decent 2nd hand truck would be an option (98% of Baja trucks are barely running haha). Thanks for all the help here, this is a great forum. Cheers!

 

Awesome work my friend!

Probably not something I'd do again either... but damn glad I did it.
