So that road I posted above resulted in this a couple weeks ago..
No big deal, but I was left with a coolant leak afterwards coming from the back of the head. I didn't think it could be the coolant flange since I had it replaced two years ago. After doing some poking it looked like the heater core inlet hose was cracked at the coolant flange connection.
It took about an hour to install the new hose but it didn't fix my leak. I was still losing half an expansion tank a half hour.
I ended up replacing the coolant flange again. When I went to remove the old flange I noticed one of the upper coolant pipe bolts was not even finger tight and was probably the cause of my leak.
Oh well. Problem is fixed and I can drive with confidence again. I also replaced my oil dipstick tube funnel as it was cracked and broken.
Still need to get my rear wheel bearings done.
Forgot to mention I removed my "race" N75 and put the stock one back in. Feels smoother, a bit better to drive around town, and not as peaky. Still trying to decide which valve I like better though, I'll probably put the newer valve back in and try that out again.
Oh, one more thing, I got a second set of red LED lights wired up under the front seats for the back. Looks much more balanced now.
Thats what the front looks like right now, I'll have to get some pictures of the rear. They also look a bit brighter in that photo than they really are.
I'm using 1 7" red LED bar from superbrightleds in each location, but I can't find what I'm using on their site anymore. The color is a perfect match though. I have the ambient lighting wired up to my funk switch.
