DrKrazy Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Well got access to a bay at the brother's shop today to take the new RX in for a healthy seal replacement, timing belts, tune-up, hoses, major work over. Got it up on the rack noticed it needs ball joints up front (Brother failed to mention that on first inspection)..and then immediatly notice a nice little green droplet forming on the bolt for the exhaust on the passenger side head! Ah hell my day is just getting better and better. Let it down and get out the pressure tester..sure as as heck starts very slowly losing pressure and drips from that bolt. So either head gasket or cracked head, but exhaust bolt is also stripped. Well pack back up all the parts..those can be saved for the soon to come JDM engine that is now a must. And a lesson learned that no matter how good of a mechanic your brother is do the testing yourself before buying a ton of parts..he owes me a six pack now.
