Geez, Yellowjacket is the garage queen once again...
Just when everything FINALLY seems to be working.... BAM!
The Procharger now has a bad seal, leaking oil quickly. I check the oil in the blower religously at least once every other weekend because it can void the warranty if you let it go on low oil. Last weekend I was coming home from a car cruise and the blower sounded a little different and smelled a little different when hot. I decided to check it out the next morning as I was home-bound for the rest of the night. The next morning I made some new gaskets for the MAF. Imagine my surprise when I pulled the MAF and a section of the blower tubing off and I find oil! I finished my work on the MAF and cleaned as much as I could. I then started to work on the Procharger. I checked the oil, and it was WAY below the minimum line and BLACK! (It's supposed to be aqua blue) I did a complete oil change. (There was about 1/4 of the oil amount that should have been in there when I drained the old oil.) I nursed it and checked it daily for 3 days. The oil quickly disappeared from the blower, and by the end of the 3rd day, was once again below minimum. So I now get to pull the blower this weekend and send it in for a bad seal and possible hosed components inside. So, it looks like she's garaged for another couple of weeks... Thank goodness for a warranty and noticing the small stuff eh? Think I should go ahead and get the 10 lb pulley? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif ------------------ "The Yellowjacket" 381.8 rwhp 377.6 rwtq "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." |
Man, that sucks.
Although I'm not sure what would suck more, the fact that Yellowjacket is in the garage or you have to drive the '88 with no A/C! You just have real crappy luck with that car. I think you're just running too much power http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif.

Nah, it has nothing to do with the car. It's just my luck.... just ask my wife. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif
At least its not costing me anything this time... and power... Well, you can NEVER have too much of that... ------------------ "The Yellowjacket" 381.8 rwhp 377.6 rwtq "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." |
