No magic roo dust. It didn't work when he was here. Finally got it fired on his last day.
Here's a little taste of where I'm at.

That sounds great! It's all downhill from here! Ha! At least you've got a good start.
Well I still have to mount the fuel filter assembly. The original was never changed!!! I'll put up a pic of it tonight.
My transmission cooler assembly that pulls fresh water is also leaking, so that has to be replaced as well. Then I'm hooking up a new bilge pump, and flushing the tranny fluid, and then lake test.
Quick question, on a Borg Warner should I use Dexron III like I did on my PCM or something else for the transmission fluid?
You could just take the trans cooler to a radiator shop and they can solder the fittings back. What we did on my dads scarab. PCM from the factory used straight 20wt oil but dexron 3 or anything higher such as dex 6 will work.
It's leaking at the bottom point, water is coming out. Now I have to hope water hasn't been pumping into the tranny. I'm not going to patch this one, it's being fully replaced. Can't take a chance on structural damage leaking into the tranny lines.
Sounds good haugy. Congrats on the progress so far.
The tranny coolers are designed so that the tranny oil pressure is higher than the water pressure. This is supposed to make it so that when they do leak, it is only the oil going out and not the water coming in.
Of course -- it doesn't usually work out that way.... but that's how they were designed. Simple/cheap replacement... I don't think it's worth trying to repair.
Don't know about cheap. $100. :D
And seeing how I checked the tranny fluid and it felt like gel rather than fluid, I may be in for a dismal surprise.
I wouldn't sweat it. If it had water in it, it would be milky. These trannys are pretty burly. My cooler failed and contaminated my tranny fluid.... it started slipping like crazy and I figured it was cooked. Replaced the cooler, flushed the fluid (as best as I could without a drain plug) and it's been fine ever since.
