Wire in water ports ?
two guns
Jeeper
Somebody got to have the answer. Today, Replaced the Power Steering Pump AND the water pump & thermostat.
Now, the funny part. After removing the old thermostat, while cleaning my
gasket area and preping for new installations ................. I see a wire inside the water ports, ............... the size is about the size of a coat hanger in diameter, the one I got out ( couldn't remove the other one ) was 13 1/2 inches long. Just sitting inside the water port, loose. I reached in a removed the one on the right side of the thermostat, but the one on the left is in there so I cant remove.... WHAT IN THE HELL IS THE WIRE ...... I've ask many, and they don't have a clue. The best we can figure, the are used during the molding process of the head.
80 model CJ7 with AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . All original, nobodys EVERY been inside this engine.
It came from the factory like this >>>
Does anybody have a clue >>>>>
