Summer will be upon us soon! Make sure you check the Meets subforum to see if there's a get-together near you!
Good luck, good looking job. My first Capri, the PO had used Radiator Stop Leak, several cans apparently, and all the small lines and passages and even hoses were plugged. The hose from the back of the block to the IAC was solid.Jack Byrd
That's good to know. When I worked at a parts store we did not carry much for the filler neck. Good to know, I imagine the stock line falls apart the second you need to mess with it.
I just read this thread and only 1 of your photos was visible: the one after you reinstalled the valve cover. I removed mine too and removed and cleaned the baffles but my engine isn't (as far as I know) clogged with sludge. I had a ripped timing belt and the PO decided to leave ALL the covers and splash shields off so I had to track them down over the course of a few years to cover the engine. It's still not running and I'd given ZERO thought to replacing any or all fuel hoses... so thanks for adding that to my list of fears lol. I don't know if my coolant hoses are or will crack. I don't know how well my brakes work... I'm hoping to actually drive the car in the next month or so after buying some parts. Thanks for the write up on here, I wish I could see more pics though.
