Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Today’s word: Exasperation It was a two-steps-back day today. Went to pressure test the cooling system and immediately saw a geyser squirting from the front left corner of the intake manifold. Tried re-torquing the stud nut at that corner, but no such luck… :think: So, drained about a gallon of cool...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Agreed Ken, thx. Today I primed the oil system and topped off the oil level to the add 1 qt line. The system now holds 8 full Qts from empty. 6qts in the pan and 2 qts in the twin remote filters (2.5 cups) and hoses. No leaks noted so far. I also finished routing the vent line from the rear of the i...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Finalized the last of the coolant hoses today. Now to fill the system and pressure test it for leaks.
I also replaced the three Weatherpack connectors going to the stop/tail lights on the rear clamshell with an eight pin Deutsch connector. Much better…

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone
Waiting on some parts to complete the coolant hose install. While waiting, I didn’t like the two -10 remote oil filter hoses I made with 45 degree fittings, so I remade them with 90 degree fittings.

It’s just an open end wrench with no handle, just a square drive, good for getting into tight areas where a regular wrench won’t work.
