    Purpose of painting an Engine Block?

    I can't remember what type of paint this guy used but he described it as black rough and krinkley looking.He could'nt figure out why he was over heating and after spending a bunch of money it was narrowed down to the paint on the block, so he stripped it and no more over heating.

    Codes 33 & 41

    T:) hank's jrichker, I've figured it out for now I believe....simply put...brittle vacuum lines. I'm finding that propper vacuum is an absolute key to the way these car's run.

    Codes 33 & 41

    Ok, 33 says that the EGR did not open or respond...probabley improper vac?? And 41- system lean. Do these two coincide??? And I've seen the schematic for the vacuum lines but I'm getting somthing wrong w/ the EGR vac line... I think. Thank's, Dave

    What sensor is this??

    Sorry no pic's,camera on the fritz. When i pulled the sensor it had carbon build up on it. So this would lead me to believe that it would be somthing other than a coolant sensor.
