Tah Dah The radiator is out. It was a breeze. Messy but a breeze. 2 oil lines, 2 coolant hoses, 2 fan plugs, 4 mount bolts some wigglin' and gigglin' and you're home free. I'm sure that the t-belt will be just as easy...

Note to self, I have to get some new hose clamps. The ones on the underside of the radiator were rusted pretty badly. I have new radiator hoses and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up some replacement hoses for the tranny fluid as they were looking a little shabby.

What do you do with the old radiator? Can't really put it in the trash because of the oil and antifreeze can you? Hmmn.

Okay, I have cam and crank seals. I have an new water pump w/gaskets. I don't have cam blank plates but I called the dealer and they can get them for $3.50 each. I'm pretty sure that I need 2.

Should I consider replacing the oil pump seal?
