If it's when you don't have weight on the front end and it's moving, track bar for sure.

Hey guys

I recently changed my water pump and all is good except that i have low heat temp out of the vents and a coolant smell as if i dumped the bottle in the back seat.

Coolant level is full.
Burped it a few times.
And still no change in temp or smell.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Thanks in advanced

How drastically would my MPG decrease with a vacuum leak?

The sleeves are used on old balancers that have been grooved by the seal.

Just lube up the balancer seal surface and install it. You are installing a new seal, right?

The cam gear has it's own bolt. The crank gear is held in place by the balancer. What are you doing?
