I knew there had to be an easy way to go about this. Thanks for the help Larry

I havnt had to post in a long time considering most questions can be answered with a search. It looks like I have a coolant leak from the inlet tube O ring. I was curious as to what the best way to fix this would be. is there an easy way thanks in advance Larry

just wanted to say thanks for the help when i needed it. if it wasnt for this forum i dont think it would have happened. so ya she passed smog this morning and i couldnt be happier thanks Tibia

alright, i will be taking them off today and will see what happens. thanks for the help

Oil pressure has returned to 'normal'. At 1500 we're seeing 80 psi on the gauge. Drops down to 35 or so when at 700 idle. Will keep an eye on it just in case. Finaly found where the oil smoke is coming from... from inside the bolt-on covers surrounding the exhaust pipes, from the exhaust manifolds to the cat. Any ideas of what we'll find once the covers are removed, ie fiberglass packing, etc ? Do these covers serve any purpose ? Tibia

well, after cleaning and looking at it time after time the smoke seams to be coming from the cat. like something is dripping on it. i took her for a little test drive around the block and besides from not having any balls (assuming its the ign. timing that i never took care off) when i pulled back in it was smoking up a storm, still no sign of oil. it doesnt look like its coming from the trans axle. i did notice the tranny fluid was really low. oh i forgot to mention when i stopped the oil pressure dropped way down almost nothing well i guess ill take another look in the morning

ok so here is my situation i have an 87 gl spfi wagon 5spd d/r 4x4 so far i have replaced timing belts, oil pump seals, cam seals, fuel pump & filter, radiator hoses, thermostat and fans. when i put everything back together and filled with oil and marvels, i noticed a little leak on the pas. side cam cover. so i replaced the cam cover gasket, then i noticed that little hose from the tstat to the block had that little puncture. i replaced that and started her up, i'm still getting white smoke from under the engine. it seems to start from where the oil was leaking from the cam cover but cant tell. as i type this i am waiting for the engine to dry, i just used degreaser again. i will try again and see if i am still having this problem. has anyone else had this problem? thanks in advance Tibia

thanks for the quick reply ya i have already checked everything in the fuel system and it led to the pump. it doesnt make any noise or do anything it just gets warm to the touch. i'm pretty sure its done for, so i guess i'm off to find a cheap sollution. i will check out the ford pump. it really sucks trying to find parts in so.cal. the funny thing is once i get her running i move back to a mountain town where these cars are everywhere and parts are everywhere and cheap. thanks again Tibia

i have been lurking here for a while, and would have to say this forum is a god send. all the information i have needed has been obtained within minutes. thank you. i have an 87 gl spfi. i'm getting power to the fuel pump and it warms up, but does not pump. can i clean it out somehow or is this what happens when the pump is done for? any input would be great thanks in advance Tibia
