The CSX: September 22, 1999
by Russ Knize on Sep.22, 1999, under CSX
Well, the weekly strife with this car continues. Monday it barfed out the block core plug behind starter…it had rusted out from the inside. I replaced it with a expanding rubber core plug (Expand-Tite), which seems to be holding. The next plug down has some evidence of a very slow leak. Looks like that one is next.
The piston slap is slowly getting worse. I think I should start thinking seriously about building-up a new, solid bottom end for this thing. No screwing around this time…. *sigh*
