ok

 

 

 

man that thing done for that only the third time in my life ive seen one that bad at least it cheaper than the cracked head

 

crazy huh? it was even rubbing on the first cylinder a little bit.

 

it could of got really bad if it wore thru wher it was rubbing

 

That's just a machining mark from when the block was made. Glad to see you found your problem!!!

 

Nah I'm pretty sure it was either rubbing or so close that it kept gunk from settling on that part of the cylinder. When I saw what the impeller on the pump was supposed to look like I nearly shat in the parts store! So anyway I filled the engine back up with coolant through the hole where the temp sensor screws in. Then I drove over here to kick back jack's to watch the football game and noticed the heat never got hot on the way over here. Maybe it still needs more coolant. Could I have missed anything?

 

fill thru thr radiator cap let the thermostat open the then top off and fill coolant bottle to line...

 

Wurd. I hope this issue is solved. Some guys at the parts store told me not to flush the system because I would lose freeze plugs or something like that. Hell if I know.

 

I'm sitting here idling at 210 but I have no heat.

 

gotta be air in the system check the radiator after its cooled down and top off the over flow

 

gotta get some dinner then bed gotta work tomorrow

 

This^^

 

HA! Love that old impeller! Somehow reminds me..."clap with one hand".

You mentioned the heater didn't work well before. Also a system with a pump like that, at one time must have been pretty ugly. Seems there is a chance the heater core might have ended up plugged up.

If it was me I'd drive it a few days to give it every chance to burp, then consider back-flushing the core with a garden hose it it still isn't heating.
