if they come back, you need to find out what codes are presenting, and address the issues before clearing again.

Not really. And I don't recommend you do the removal and installation yourself either. Have the shop that will do the rebuild do the installation. These are not particularly simple engines. choose who will do the work carefully. The cheapest guy is likely not the best choice here. It's a complex job with many potential failure points and a lot of cleaning required to ensure a lasting repair. GD

read the fine print, tho.. NO electronics.. case & battery only.

Mitchy, I believe you're hearing coolant gurgling through the heater core of the HVAC system because of air bubbles. The fix is to raise the front of the car so that the radiator is higher than the heater core, remove the radiator cap, start the car and run it to normal temperature with the hvac set to maximum heat. Then add 50/50 mixed coolant to the rad as trapped air bubbles burp up through the rad cap opening. Continue until no more bubbles can be seen, and no more coolant can be added. Once all of the air has been burped out, you should no longer hear the trickling noise inside the car. I've been there with a past OBW and this solved the issue. Good Luck!
