Today did not go well.
Snapped off an oil pan bolt.
It is in an area where I put RTV on the gasket. Hopefully it won’t leak.
If it does I’ll deal with it later.
Now on to the potentially catastrophic mistake!
We had the engine almost back together when I decided to flush the coolant passages with the water hose. I wasn’t thinking about it being a pressure test, but it turned out to be just that.
Welp, there was water leaking out under both heads!!
As you can imagine, I was thoroughly disgusted, so I walked away and went to eat lunch.
After lunch there was nothing to do but tear back into it to see what happened. I had my suspicions.
Sure enough, I had put the gaskets on the wrong side. (Driver on passenger and vice versa)
