Good Morning Army. TGIF !
Mamaw has her car back now. When Bronze said "Check the Timing Chain Cover" for a water leak, I thought he was joking. Why would a Timing Chain Cover leak water ?
Because it is actually a "Front Engine Cover", and the are ports on either side for the Water Pump suction and discharge. On the discharge side there was some pitting and and maybe even warped a little, though I would have never known. I towed the beast to a mechanic I trust, and he called to tell me about the cover. I told him to check the timing chain and gears while he was in that far, and replace as needed.
Bottom Line - $972 for Mamaw's car. She's happy. I still have oil / filter changes and brake jobs to do on both vehicles before cold weather sets in.
Beautiful pics, Robin. Let me know when retic and BK "stop by" to christen the pool
, or maybe we will all make a road trip to Robin's house this February. I am sure Mr. Robin won't mind. I got dibs on the couch.
Have a Safe and Blessed Day
