coolant woes!

Good luck with the head mate. As I am the foremost head replacement expert on the forum remember these points.
(a) Put the fuel return & heater plug bar on in the right order.
(b) Put BOTH atf pipes onto the rad BEFORE starting the engine.
(c) After soldering a loose connector back on do NOT rest your forearm on soldering iron.

Anyone doing the above would be seen as a novice round these parts.

Hi Tony

And yes you are probably right mate...

Yup..
I did quite a few of those when i was younger and training to be covered in grease and oil on a permanent basis.. Well we live and learn eventually! and you'll not do it again

Cheers Mick,
The job itself isn't so bad. Yes it's awkward but not overly complicated, anyway now it's done, i'll take it for a test drive tomorrow, as i didn't want to go in the dark just in case....

Well add to the list a new radiator! i'm a little unsure on the rad in the truck and, with the money i've laid out on the head i thought i'll change the rad as well just to be sure...More flippin expense!!!! hopefully now all this has been done apart from servicing the old girl i shouldn't (fingers crossed) have any hassle for a year or two,,
