had a couple questions before i jumped in on repairs tonight. i like to tend to do my work at night, since i live in FL and its hot as heck during the day but anyway on to the questions. And i wanna apologize that i reposted some but i needed answers ASAP since i'm doing this tonight.

So i got my coolant hoses in yesterday and plan on installing them tonight. As i was installing the intake the other night i had a question about the coolant lines, the lines that ran to the little radiator in the airbox i looped together but noticed the coolant in there was really dirty, i had changed it like a year ago.

#1 Coolant is suppose to be constantly running through the lines am i correct???

#2 Also looks like i can remove that metal pipe in the front that has the air and coolant lines running to them. where did you guys route that coolant line too??

#3 one of the coolant lines running to the airbox lines has a knuckle/filter looking thing on it, what is that for??

#4 the throttle body has a gasket to it, when i take the throttle body off i believe theres a spacer thats attached to the throttle body, does that have a gasket to??

#5 During the install of the motor mounts i did the rear, front, than side. did i have to do anything special to balance the weight of the motor on the mounts cause i installed rear tightened it, installed front tightened it, and than side but i noticed that the side mount isn't even with the bracket, like it leans to far to one side, is that normal??

i appreciate all the help.

 

You should be fine on the mounts. Somebody mentioned with the screws loosened you should neutralize the mounts by putting in forward and reverse while at park and then tighten them down.


The side mount should be even with the bracket. Did you put all the bolts back in? When you put the front and rear in did everything line up?

 

the side mount bracket is making the mount leaning more towards the headlights instead of being in the middle. i tighted rear, did front, tightened, than did side and was already off when i went to do the side. i was thinking of loosening both bolts for front and rear, lifting the engine a bit to align side mount and than tighten them down once the side bracket is aligned with the mount.

 

Somebody else did that with success. You might have done to good of a job.
