If you guys are wondering, "where is a new video for us!?" here is your answer lol.

After the ending of the roadtrip video I performed a compression & leak down test on the Eclipse. The compression came back perfect: 155 psi on every cylinder when it was totally cold. The leak down test revealed some bad news: every cylinder has about a 28% leakdown (meaning the cylinder was leaking about 28% of the pressure). The pressure was, as we figured, leaking past the head gasket into the cooling system. That's why the car kept puking its coolant everywhere and overheating!

Well, yesterday and today I worked on removing the head in preparation of replacing the headgasket. The process was pretty easy and only took a few hours. Now its time to send the head to a machine shop, fix some leaks, replacing the water pump & timing belt, and reassemble everything! 

You guys will get a video as soon as the Eclipse is back up and running! Also: HUGE thank you for the support on the car, and here on Patreon in general! I'm super pumped to get this thing ripping!

We found one really awesome one, but it was incredibly overpriced. $2800/month for 1800 sqft. Whereas my last shop was $1000/month for 1500 sqft.

Geez that's a lot This is maybe going to sound stupid, buuut is adamlz renting something at the compound? Maybe he has some unused houses/buildings, I know it would mean moving again but that would be an awesome opportunity, I don't think he has every single building in use at that place

I’ll never forget when my car did the same as the eclipse, it blew a head gasket only a month after buying it. Overheated on the way home from buying it and would constantly need the coolant refilled. It’s sucks but stuff happens for a reason I guess…
