Hi Pack-man,
This is actually Mike's girlfriend - we accidently sent the last response from my sign-in here.....but anyway.....Mike said $100.00 to remove and $100.00 to replace.....he has a new cell phone number you can reach him at 865-712-4170.....and just as a side thought....everything grown here at Sol-Luna Farm will be grown organically, no chemicals, etc....
hope you have a great day!
I have tried to get ahold of you , sorry for the delay on lookin at the chimney , I sure could use the $20 right about ...NOW hehe . I will try to call again ...MAXD
Hi I'm Mike.
I talked to your daughter today about the taurus. What has happened is similar to vapor lock only in the cooling system. on the drivers side is a purge valve right above the trans bellhousing. There is or should be a valve stem that has to be open during the fill process to bleed out any air pockets which will occur when being filled while running. My suggestion to her is to just replace the motor or spend time to disassemble the top end of the motor and prepare to do a reconditioning or machining of both heads and new gaskets. Its easier and cheaper to replace the motor vs repairing it, Its less time consuming and will have it running alot sooner.
