Hey, I am lost on it and I was a certified auto mechanic years ago.
What did you do today?

I hope you can figure it out, Floorist.
Today I took my brother in to the bank so he could withdraw money for the truck he's going to buy. He also talked to the dealer and because he was worried it might sell before Monday, he put a reserve on it. So we went back and forth to the library so he could use the printer and fax to handle the paperwork for that. I hope it doesn't have any problems when we go to look at it. The sales guy is elated since the truck sat for 5 months and the price just dropped to something my bro could afford (with my help). I think the guy didn't expect him to put the reserve down. I was going to encourage my brother to try to negotiate on the price a little more, but he doesn't want to haggle and he won't have much wiggle room since he put the deposit down. But, he's paying me back for what I'm contributing so it will be his money being spent.
At least I have a better feeling about this one than I did about the hunk of junk he bought last time.

Back side means removing the intake manifold and installing new gaskets. I think it's a common issue on these engines with the factory gaskets.
Mine did that 4 years ago and a bottle of Bars Leak fixed it...... and mine is still fixed, so I'd give it a try.
Might be best to run straight water in it for a week or two first after adding the stop leak. Stop leaks work better when the system doesn't have antifreeze in the mix.
Put some antifreeze back in after a week or so if the stop leak worked.
My machinist told me that the factory puts some in their new engines simply to plug minor leaks if a gasket didn't seal perfectly. He said it's not cheating, it's insurance. It doesn't hurt anything.
I was thinking the 4.3ci V6 Rusty. Still, I'd guess the same issue and same fix.

Already did bars leak, twice.
Heading out into the monsoon. 2" of rain already, supposed to be another 2" coming and that doesn't count the 1" we got the day before.

Where do you put all that rainwater?
I think it might rain out here today. We had some flooding when the tornadoes blew through a couple weeks ago. I'll have to post some pictures sometime- water got really high. I need to take some pics of what it looks like when it's not flooded to show the before and after.
It's a shame there isn't a fast efficient way to gather up the flood waters and take it to places that have drought.
Today is Mom's birthday (she's 67) so I'm waiting for her to tell me what she wants to eat and then we have to go in so she can renew her driver's license.

Tell her we said .
Rivers are out. Some roads are closed. I got soaked today loading tools to come home.
Got 3" off the edges on a restretch. Crazy kicker jockeys.
Ya don't get 3" on a new install. They unrolled it and tucked it in. It stretched 3" because the carpet loosened up so much from never being stretched and it weakened the backing. Love those kind of installers. They make me look like a rocket scientist after fixing their hack work.

Sent in $375.00 for a golf Tournament for May 12th . Have another on the 18th .
How much ya gonna win?
I worked on the turf at the hospital today. Made a large pattern around the curvy metal fountain base using a refrigerator box and two dryer boxes. Then I took the pattern down to the warehouse and cut it out. Fit like glove. If it doesn't rain tomorrow afternoon, I'll do the seam and finish it up. Now the doctors can play golf at work.

Hopefully i win the car on the hole in one .
Missed $25,000 by 6 " on a 160yd par 3 last year . told the guy watching the green that he just blew $5,000 .
I picked up my friend's girlfriend from work and kept her company until he got off work before going to the grocery store to pick up prescriptions. Got home and the water wasn't working. I checked the breakers and they were fine. Went outside and the jet pump (that pulls water from the cistern and pushes it to the house) was running but the pulley wheel pump (that pulls water from the well up to the cistern) was not running. I jiggled the float lever for the cistern and the pulley wheel pump came on. Twenty minutes later the water was working again. I really need to replace/fix that stupid float system. Sometimes it gets stuck so the pump keeps running. Tried lubricating it but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what I would replace it with or how though.

Try googling it Zannej.
When a neighbors dog craps in your yard, you need to go over and complain to them, not kill the critters.
