thanks guys i think got the cooling figured out as for oil leak i will check valve cover at back

Ask Cruiser for his leak synopsis. It's not automatically rear main leak right off the bat. Some other "looking" is in order. thanks,, I'm all for looking for leak other then rear main because both trans lines are in the way of getting oil pan off

washed engine got under it with it at idle have a steady drip from center of oil pan at the rear main guess that tells me whats next to do any body know easy way of fixing it ?

Thanks for the advice on bleeding air out have done 4 cycles so far each time it was better and no more coolant leaks except the cap will replace that but still have a oil leak to deal with

yes t stat in correct plus drilled a small hole at 12 oclock

did not rplace water pump only t stat and housing

bought a 89 Comanche last week got it home and had a coolant leak which turned out to be a small crack in T-stat housing when i replace it i put in straight water to test for any other leaks now it blows water out of the bottle it didnt do that before i know the cap is bad but could straight water cause this with the new 195 stat i put in ? i did bleed air out at back of head temp sender hole... thanks for replies..
