Same bought a cheapo Amazon set and they work awesome. Especially the remote clamp guy.
The unfortunate issue with running spring clamps is the hose must be removed. It wasn't a silicone hose that I used the worm drive on, but one of the heater hoses. Should be ok for now, until it's not. I have...
Should be good to go for a rip once the street dry up.
The most nerve racking portion of this entire learning process was having the lady help R&R the hood. Blankets were just an insurance policy.
Edit: fans didn't kick until their required temp.
Sounds good, I'll be able to replace the clamp with that style without having to pull the line.
Otherwise good news, ran more water through including deionized.
Followed with a full fill of coolant it's cooling off as well speak.
In the graph you can see the heat rise as air pockets left the...
Of course. Thanks to everyone that posted, I appreciate all of the input and suggestions. Given the mileage on the pump I was surprised. Being inexperience with these cars couldn't believe it had failed so prematurely.
Still have got to figure out the relay issue and actually pressurize the...
Ran the vehicle a little hot, gave her a few throttle blips, Gauge read cold, PCM read hot. Likely an air pocket still. Shut her down burped the system, took nearly 3 gallons of the freshest lake Michigan water. Going to let it cool drain and redo the whole thing.
Grabbed some peak global...
so the pump had low mileage and instead of a long turn around time I decide to wing it while saving some money at a risk by swapping a new impeller.
does swapping the guts from a gen1 work just the same on either impeller shaft diameter pump housing, or is it just the shaft that is different?
I...
This should help. Going to drain and fill the system a couple times with tap water. Flush with deionized. Any suggestions on conventional coolant.
The peak global lifetime or the or zerek G05? Both seem like winners.
Might smear a little gray rtv/hondabond on the gasket prior to install.
The belts in good shape
Power steering pulley was done.
The mount I'm unsure of, I'll have to take a closer look later on.
Got the hoses, the lower was in bad shape.
Idler pulley seems alright.
And I may wait on the rack bushings until I can get it on the lift at my old place.
this would be...
welp. It's certainly the pump. And looks to be an aftermarket unit. Non nurled but double backed nut looking piece holding the impeller on. Nice.
So what's the best place to start?
Good to know, it was mainly leaves, sand, and what looks like some random paper towels. When I have time tonight im going to just run some straight water through the radiator. Get it all cleaned up and hopefully get that water pump checked out. You didn't remove the condenser did you?
I ran the check a few times the other day. It was hardly warming up.
Figure running water through the system a few times and completely flushing out the radiator of all the Evans can only help
You guys are right.
I'm going to ditch the current coolant go with conventional.(ZEREX G05?)
Going to get the hood off so I'm not bent over messing with the water pump/ radiator and what not.
Thanks again, I'll report back with my findings.
Edit; this will certainly make working on it easier
ill get on that brake fluid flush once the car is mobile.
as for the coolant, its that evans waterless stuff. it goes in looking like fresh motor oil, after a while this you get this old tar pit looking juice.
going to try and burp the system again later on, hoping all that bubbling is...
Getting lots of large bubbles. Def air in the system. Unable to upload a video. I'll message with it when I get back in.
Definitely flowing at idle based on the movement of coolant in the bleeder

Edit; added video.
the boiling point/corrosion factor was my reason for considering keeping it. I know it doesnt have the same cooling factor but this is surely something else.
its viscosity was a concern through a factory rad as well, but this didn't just come out of the blue as a cause.
im about to head out and...
the hose set was just a decent deal @ 170$ on amazon. figure its a cure of a possible future issue.
the ECT having dummy light/pcm/gauge readout indicates its doing its job. just picked one up since it could be helpful in the future if that's not it.
the waterless was just to keep the current...
vehicle came with the waterless. it'd be the first time id ever consider it just being it was preinstalled.
i do like what I've read up on it, just hate for that to be a possible variable.
ordered a new CTS(if its not it, not bad to have on hand.), a set of mishimoto silicone rad hoses(figured if I have to dig into flushing the rad might as well have them.), and a gallon of evans waterless coolant to avoid introducing any water into the system.
going to see if I can burp the...
Yes, both reservoirs are full.
I have a couple mid engine cars and cooling system bleeding can be a nightmare, I have that exact unit I believe.
thanks for the tips, Ill give that a try tonight. the gurgling has me thinking I have an air pocket somewhere.
Ran to the garage to pickup some...
