I had a few minutes to mess with Christine today and it looks like I may need some spiritual help. I got everything hooked up, installed the radiator, added fluids and fired her up. Sounds like a couple of sticky valves and they need adjusting. No big deal.
She then started spitting green stuff out of the front of the radiator. A few more not so nice words came out of my mouth.
Then she was running kind of funny, like something was in a bind. It looks like Christine is always in reverse, no matter where the shift lever is, even in park, she wants to go backwards.
At this point, I'm sweating, cursing and wandering around the car watching her stare at me with her four eyes, sneering at me with her big wide mouth open.
I think it's time to call a priest.
Good news!! I adjusted the valves this morning and slowed the radiator leak down enough to crank the car and get it good and warm. She seems to run pretty good, no crazy noises and not too much smoke. I'll put new valve stem seals on the engine after I get the radiator and transmission sorted out.
