Looks like there is a water pump bleeder included in this kit?

Are the small bore hoses for that??

Good luck!

You could always ask Josh direct ;)

It looks like the "self bleeder" kit is included within this. Look at the brass made "T" piece and brass made "screw in barb" for the water pump at the top of the picture.

Enjoy :)

Btw, nice engine Pics, thanks for sharing ;)

I asked Josh when I bought it if the kit was delivered with a drawing, but no.
So, I sent him an email yesterday, let's wait.
And yes, the kit include the self bleeder but I don't know yet if I will use it or not?
You're welcome about the engine pic, I could put some pic here too at the same time if you're not visiting dmctalk very often ;)

I don't visit dmctalk a lot, unfortunately I don't have time to go on there.

I'd love to see some Pics Domi, see how is coming along.

While your engine is apart, check that the thermister (engine idle ecu temperature sensor) is the correct type and varies with resistance.

There are two types that look the same but have different part numbers. The attached graph is the correct type and part number:

They're brand new from John Hervey, so I guess they're okay :think:

I advise you to check.

Just because it's a new from a supplier, doesn't mean that it's:

1) correct part number
2) it works within specification/ work's at all
