Thanks Oleg, i might look into a pressure test and/or just replace that
flange. was it easy to replace?
Easy, just two [I think size 10] bolts and a hose clamp... except you'll
need to drain the coolant first, or at least have a suitable container
handy because most of it will pour out into your timing hole. I was
going to flush the system anyway, so I just drained it all.
OTOH, it could just as well be be some other plastic bit of the cooling
system, so you're be better off doing a test first.
by the way, was the part number that you received correct? if not, let me
I hope it was... a bushing by that number has arrived at my garage, but
I won't be there until Wednesday to check it out. Thanks anyhow.
Cheers,
Oleg
P.S. Dizzy = ignition distributor. As in, that unique feeling you get
when the usual oil leak destroys the hall sender, causing a respectably
sized fireball to come crashing out of your tailpipe in the middle of a
quaint Dutch village, forcing innocent civilians to dive for cover... :-)
