Pulled off the cover for the blower today to diagnose a noise problem.

Turned out to be a squeaky bearing. Little bit of white lithium grease and no more squeak!

Not much else to report, right now. Running on pretty tight funds so I'm only able to do the cheapest of things

I'm one of those guys who's always got light pockets and big dreams, lol.

It's time for an update! (sorry I've been gone so long. been kinda broke.

)

So! new thermostat in. took THREE DAYS to complete because work got in the way one day, and previous owner got in the way on the other two. seems he uh... likes to over-torque bolts. So I had to re-thread some stuff.

old T-stat... Sorry I didn't get a pic of the new one ( I think you guys know what they look like by now though. )

Sort-of cleaned up threads. Was a booger to get a tap-n-die in there, let me tell you!

So, got a bit of a problem now. Since i've put on the new t-stat (just got done 5 mins ago!) when warm, my oil pressure drops down enough to make the "check gauges" warning light come on. Anyone else had this problem? It has good oil pressure when it's cold, only does this when it's at operating temp. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I can do simple things.... need someone with a bigger brain to throw their two cents in on this one and help me figure out what's going on.
