Well, since Ol' Roy seems to have fixed his overheating problem on his own, I figured I may as well drive him to work today.
A 60 mile round trip on mostly interstates proved to be no problem. Temperature never came off 180.
When I got home, however,I saw a puddle of water forming under the truck. It turns out to be leaking fromthe core plug back by the throttle linkage.
I'd rather not pull the intake and exhaust manifolds to repair it. What's the best method to remove it?
Also, I want to use one of those rubber expansion plugs to close it up. What size/diameter and type do I need? I don't want to get the wrong rubber and have it melt. How far in should it be placed? I wouldn't want to block up a water passage by getting one that's too deep.
