Did you find a better price on CD2?

I haven't had time to search extensively, but my initial search was not promising. The best price I saw was $12.99 per bottle from an Amazon seller. I like CD2 a lot, but Rislone High Mileage Engine Treatment is $4.47 per bottle at Walmart.

I managed to slow the oil leak from the right front corner of the head. Replaced the radiator mounts and upper condensor bushings. I also installed the new crank sensor bracket from XJR Engineer.
Put it all back together and the car runs perfectly. Smooth idle. No leaks from the cam cover. Radiator is mounted securely. Volts are where they should be.
I really appreciate everyone's help. Especially Don.

Hi Todd,

Great work! Your persistence has paid off! Thanks for reporting back. It's always good to hear about a successful resolution.

Regarding your condenser bushings, if your lower ones are shot, you should replace them too. A known issue is that when those lower bushings perish, movement of the condenser allows one of its pipe fittings to rub against a steel braket, wearing a hole in the aluminum pipe and causing a refrigerant leak that can only be resolved by replacing the condenser. If I recall correctly, the only disassembly required to replace those lower bushings is to drop the lower mounting plate, but I may be thinking of the lower radiator bushings.

Cheers,

Don

When I got in there, the lower ones were new. I had to replace the condensor last summer.
