Seems to be the coming from the small weep hole under the pump. So that pump didn't last long. I have managed to pick one up on trade me, a new genuine Motorcraft pump. Hopefully I won't have this trouble again for a long time.

Cheers Mal.

Mine have been modified as well. Probably something that needs to be done as they wear. Mine have hemi rod ends so the rod is a nice fit through the bearing in the hemi end.

The thermostat cover is good. The timing chain cover is a new aftermarket cover. I am starting to wonder how true the face of where the pump mounts is.

Re: Coolant Leak

Hi Mal, the coolant leak will not be coming from the 2 set screws under the water pump as they screw into the timing chain cover,so the only leak from there could be oil. It is more likely that the engine coolant leak is coming from the small hole under the water pump snout,it is there behind the f...

Coolant leak

I have been loosing coolant from the water pump area. So far I have replaced the gasket twice. The first time I thought I had fixed it only for it to return a short time later. The second time I seemed to only slow the leak. The car has been sitting for a while and I started it yesterday and took it...

I bought a MSD blaster 2 coil for my MSD dizzy. Mounted it vertical as instructed, fired the engine up and it ran fine. Next day wouldn't start, no spark. I put the old coil back on and it has run fine ever since.
