Just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone in the community for the help and information provided on these forums. Without it ied be lost in the dark. Early this summer my water pump locked up and rounded off the teeth on my water pump drive gear. I had to routes. Electric water pump, or replace the gear. I decided to go with the gear route. Boy did I not realize the work ahead of me. It paid off, I ended up finding alot of unknown to me issues and fixed an oil leak I before couldn't track down. All this done with the motor still I'm the car and working 2 days a week 3 hrs at a time. Being I work late shift any open family time comes first. In my spare time I spent hrs scrolling and searching and finding almost every answer to all my questions here without needing to make a post. With no mechanical training and only ever doing simple repairs, yall helped me do a reseal (rebuild?) of my motor short of the head gasket. So ied like to say again. Thank you everyone.

 

That is the exact reason this section has stayed alive, there is a great group of guys that have shared much experience and continue. Glad you got your bugs worked out

 

Ditto that. I've learned soooo much on these forums over the years. More than I could have on my own. Lots of good people on them.
