  1. Make sure it's not a water pump or hose leak. If it's coming from the HG as long as you keep the fluids topped off you can drive it. The external HG leaks of the 2000+ SOHC engines are not as bad as the internal 96-99 DOHC engines.
  2. Still have not listed the codes. Any auto parts store will read them for free. Codes Clear Codes (disconnect the battery for an hour Drive, if the CEL comes back on get the code Anything less and you are loading the parts cannon!
  3. Did you plug the emergency flasher button back in when you installed the vent panel? Most likely that's it.
  4. Tick mark on the back crank tooth lines up with the tic mark on the top of the oil pump cover!
  5. The computer is not seeing the neutral switch most likely. It still thinks the trans is in gear. You can find the wires coming up the trans, right at the back of the engine. Disconnect the plug and use a meter to check for OL and 0.0 ohms. Switch open and closed when you shift in and out of N.
  6. There are several layers of metal in those. I cut some out for another member. 2 trips to the yard with a Dewalt and 3 extra batteries.
  7. Love the 2.5 DOHC to 2.2 SOHC swaps. I've done many of them, no complaints.
  8. HG most likely. The high pressure is combustion gas leaking into the coolant. bubbles in the overflow tank. I picked up a 98 that blew coolant about 30' in the air when I started the engine to finishing filling the radiator.
  9. Grab a set or two from a slef serve yard, when you don't need them. Spares
  10. Cable off the cam? Pull the air intake and make sure the throttle plate is completely closed. Have someone push on the gas pedal and you can watch it move. Full closed to full open.
  11. So I guess you wold not like my forklift or vertical lift strut compressor. Just do it safe and smart. Not that much compression is needed just to start the nut.
  12. Look in the over flow for black oily stuff = Leaking HG Radiator when cold for proper level and clean coolant
