Subject:82 diesel cooling problem cont'd
From:Rolf Pechukas

well well
got everything back together and topped up and running cool and sweet for
couple days, needle just below the LED all the time
third day it's TOUCHING the light, I'm getting nervous
it's stayed there, but yesterday heard some unfamiliar squeaking from the
back -
water pump!
so it must have been going all this time
would that have contributed to marginal cooling?
questions 2. and 3. remain:
2. timing belt not tracking properly
it's riding @ 1/8" to the REAR and has worn off @ that much of its width on
the crank and tensioner flanges
3. sticking fuel pump
lever arm - can it be lubed without pump disassembly?
how?
thanks!
