Sonny's Weak M10 Build

[Sonny]

Tensioner replaced and bled. Rails look great!

[Sonny]

All hoses and cooling goodies removed

[Sonny]

Well this is a damn mess

[Sonny]

fan clutch/water pump and thermostat are all 1995

Your car doesn't make enough heat to bother radiator hoses, or anything in the car for that matter. It went 35 years with out it

Spot-on you are right thanks!

Gold tape was all a lie $30 wasted when I could have done another oil change

Going to wrap the fuel hoses and radiator hoses with the heat tape instead, seems more reasonable. Time to disconnect the lines this time properly.

It's a beauty!

Stick it through oil dipstick tube. Changed oil 5 mins. Do it when oil is warm, not hot, so it's faster

Oil changed, i put almost 4.5 quarts a month ago now she's at 3. Oil seems darker, I'll change in a month and see what happens. Exactly 4.5 quarts and stp oil treatment.

I forgot about that step. I think you can do that bleed/burp with just the valve cover off. Not 100% positive since I haven't wrenched on an m10 in a while.

Ok sounds possible, i'll look into the Bentley to thanks !

Am I getting the wrong idea? Is it simply unscrew old and screw in new tensioner?
