My apologies for the Freedom fries, during the Desert Storm episode I met this guy that refused to buy French's Mustard (Hot Dog kind),eventhough there were quite a bit of French Pa'troopers and Legionnaires with us ..go figure.. I guess he watched too much " News". Did I mention that French troops are in Pakistan and Afkanistan, but nobody would dare say that officialy, taking as many casualties as we are . Your French is very good mon ami,no? And you are right, La Vie dans le Sud de l'Amerique est douce . Luc--- Thinking about a Mint Julep for Summer sake-----

That albatross is so de-bone-er. So Kontenental--probably likes baggettes and strong coffee. Ah, Hyeres, Hyeres, where art thou. revmaaatin.

Oh great Rev of the heilige bergen, I had to look that one up on Google Earth..... Landed for a while in Gen ve mid-life and do enjoy dark roast coffee, Bordeaux blend reds, but absolutely hate fluffy breads. Bread should have prominent grains, chewy crust and a flavor of it's own.... stone ground rye comes to mind. albatross (just a winged vagabond)

Take off the water pump cover, impeller, then the clutch cover. Install new mechanical seal, o-ring on impeller, gasket for the water pump cover and clutch cover and button it back up. Fill with 50/50 non-silicate coolant and distilled water. You will also need oil and a filter if you need to replace it. Also, while you are in there, pull the screen at the bottom of the engine case and clean it. Usually there is are pieces of sealant and chain-guide material, which is no problem. > > TK > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > From: jeepaviation > To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogro ups.com > Sent: Sun, December 20, 2009 8:00:44 PM > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Radiator coolant Leaking on right side of engine - what seal??? > > > 2006 KLR.
