Thank you.. Great Job. Now would be a good time to make sure the vacuum lines that go into the cab thru the firewall and to the cruise control aren't cracked or leaking, also the ground strap from firewall to block by heater hose inlet could be cleaned.
Great video, kina suprised to find that 02 -04 had metal covers and the later years went to plastic with the groove for the seal, I think that the grooved seal is a better design.
Great tutorial!? Couple of questions: why oil change after this? What to look for after removing the covers? What else to change while opening the top engine like this?
Hey, question: I just took off my valve cover and noticed a good amount of oil puddled in the back of the valve head, is that concerning? Or is that normal?
I would say buy a brand new oil drain bin and drain it out into a brand new bin but that’s probably just as much as buying coolant. Chances are it would like new coolant anyways. People don’t change coolant to often
I didn’t drain anything and tilted the reservoir when removing the hoses from it . Lost maybe a half gallon tops if that from the entire system . This includes the bit that came out when removing the heater hoses from the firewall . The resevior I hooked back up when done and it was still nearly full. As I put the hose on the resevior while it was tilted so it wouldn’t leak . I see no reason to completely drain the radiator for this. Just top off when done and burp as needed. If you have old coolant it doesn’t hurt to swap it out but the coolant on the one I was working on was relatively new .
