Low temp guage/no heat

Burp it again. An air bubble at the sending unit will give a false cold reading. Does the heater put out hot air after it's warmed up? If so, the engine is warm but the sending unit isn't contacting the coolant. Depending on the routing of hoses, some bubbles can be hard to get out.

I was filling it through the filler neck, not through the bottle.

But, I also noticed, when it gets REAL warm (idling only) there seems to be a leak from the water pump. Water pump and timing belt on Friday...

Thanks!

This should be interesting.

I already passed on it. It's not that tough, SOHC, but I don't have the tools to get around the motor mounts.

The last water pump I did was on a Honda V4. Two heads, four cams, solid lifters, one gigantic timing belt. This was on a full dress motorcycle and every piece of body work had to come off, except for the tail light.

What tools do you need? Many parts stores will loan or rent tools.,
