well after reading previous posts about water pumps i am praying to god that my valves aren't bent
i just want to drive my neon again



but!
this was the question i was looking for...

is there a break in time for the water pump/belts/everything else i'm going to have to replace?

 

i would say about 10 seconds

 

None other than warming up the car then checking all your fluids again. Unless of course your water pump going out cracked the head.

 

yea nothing looks wrong
nothing cracked or bent
i'm just hoping we didnt overlook it or anything

but i'm glad i dont have to run everything fine for like 100 miles...
I MISS DRIVING MY CAR AND I'M NOT GONNA DRIVE IT LIKE A GRANDMA WHEN I GET IT BACK!

 

i dont wanna drive my car nicely when it gets done but i am really gonna have to for a little while....

just start yours up and go

 

hahaha

well once we get it to run i'm changing the oil first...
i have to vacuum the whole car though
it's just sitting in my back yard and it's getting really dirty
and my town was a farm town
that turned into a commuter town so we have like 70k people here now

so everyone's houses get infested with ants
and i opened my door the other day to clean out the glove box/center consol
and on the bottom liner of the door...
there were ants


DAMN THEM!!!!!

 

well, the Del Monte company is only a few blocks from where i live so alot of mice like to get to the corn.....every fall there are alot of mice in the area......so i would rather have ants then mice

i have to wash and vaccum mine as soon as it gets outta the garage since i didnt get to wash it before it broke like i wanted too[:@] and there is grease hand prints on it now from sliding out from under it

 

damn that sucks...

my trunk is full with my head, manifolds and everything else excluding the block/pistons and battery
i'm hopeing all i have to do is vacuum **** out of it and dont end up with stains

but i'm glad i dont have to wait to drive it how i want to...

 

how much power you think you'll have with yoru turbo by the way?

 

it pisses me off to have to be gentle for a while.....i wanna beat the **** out of it as soon as it starts up.....but it has to be tuned as well

i have almost the whole car back together so the only thing that isnt on it is the fuel pumps....but they will be goin on tomorrow....so i dont have much sitting around anymore
