COP Help
My bad luck with cop #4
Thanks glc, that would do that? Wow. How much liquid would that take? Im not real low on my coolant, but Ill check tomarrow to see if theres any spray. Is this common becuase of the heater hoses there? Im gona work on it Sat. so I'll check that out.
Thanks
Thanks
Damn cops!!! Oh no, not you officer....
Hi,
Cj I can be reached at ksilibovsky@hotmail.com if you still want those cops and connecters. As for those asking about how much coolant does it take to kill a cop? Isn't any leaking coolant too much?
I personally made up myown copper tubes and drastically shortened the rubber hoses. Keep in mind my vehicle was a 99 Expedition with twin heating, so twice the rubber hoses. Partial reason for doing this was to gain ALOT of room to change plugs and cops. On the Expy. those hoses are a MAJOR PITA when doing any sort of work.
I DO HOWEVER recomend ALOT of dieletric grease on the inner connector tip going onto the plug and around the upper boot where it should make a seal to the head. This can only help with the water/coolant issue so many of you are having. So buy the LARGER tube of it at your local parts store rather than trying to squeeze small drops out of those little packets they give you sometimes. The extra $3.99 is worth it.

Those heater core hoses can be very difficult in determining leakage. They will leak under pressure and the least little amount of air trapped in the system will cause a burst of pressure within the system under certain conditions. The in-line reducer is somehow suppose to protect the heater core. However, in theory, that doesn't make sense when you think about it.
Anyway , your hoses can leak , but not all the time. I think they do when conditions are met for a pressure burst, that's what makes it hard to detect.
If you look toward the rear of your passenger side head. The head will be wet if this occurring frequently. Also, your starter will tend to corrode quickly from coolant exposer. In some cases, there may be a water stain on top of the coil itself.
