Hey! Mike,Luis,Raul & any other Masters Out There!!!



Well woke up to a 78% day (1st one this year) and said to myself. Self lets go for a Kick-Ass Drive today.

Drove my Beauty for 200+ miles mostly above 85 w/no problems execpt for a little miss here and there,(Timming Issue). Other than that, ran smooth.



About the 90th mile the Add Coolant Light came one so I pulled over to check things out. Light went out as soon as I pulled off the Freeway. Checked the level and all was well.

When I got home, opened the hood and found AntiFreeze leaking from somewhere around the Water Pump.

Not from the gasket!

Checked all NEW HOSES, tight as ****.

Could it be from the Weep Hole?



Didn't have this problem before I changed over to the RB Double Sleeve Pulley Set-Up. I'm thinking like maybe Cavitation???

She never overheated once, and I ran the **** out of Her.



Cleaned everthing up Back at the house and let it Idle for an hour and a 7000rpm jolt every 10mins and no leakie.



Strange! Anything like this ever happen to ya's before?



While I'm on a roll. Do ya know what the Timming Curve difference is with a 84 Disti installed in a 80 Engine?

I kinda think this is where my Miss maybe comming from.

Hope youins had a Rotor-GreasyHands Weekend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

they list the timing curves in the books. my t2 did exactly what you decribe, it was fine and then on the freeway the add coolant light would come on. once you get off the freeway the light would turn off. it turns out that i had a tiny leak @the turbo. it wasnt enough to use coolant but it was enough to make bubbles. you may want to beg/borrow/steal a cooling system pressure checker
