Amayama Legnum - EC5W Radiator Flush + Low Temp Thermo + Spark Plugs

Tried Amayama for the first time.  I was impressed by their service.  Will be a returning customer.
But you need to know your stuff, it is all by part numbers.

Ordered parts:
----------
        Mitsubishi MR212200 FILTER, FUEL - 3,933 JPY, 1 items
        FEBEST MRKBEA BOOT, DUST COVER - 2,536 JPY, 2 items
        Mitsubishi MR765363 HOUSING, PLASTIC - 3,765 JPY, 1 items
        Mitsubishi MD752072 FILTER, OIL - 2,114 JPY, 1 items
Total: 12,348 JPY













Such a long process, not use to working on such a car.  The Colt and Civic is so easy.











Intake pipes have to come off, battery, turbo outlet pipes, engine cover.










Fan controller had to be moved, wiring loom needed to be moved.











Look what I found...Rusted thermostat housing.
And what lay underneath, pitting :(











Very little contamination within the cooling system. Which is a good start.
Using a radiator flush, just in case.









2 x fresh water flushes
2 x radiator chemical flush
2 x distilled water flush











After I cleaned the rust and build up off.












 Using a metal epoxy to fill in the pitting.












Intake manifold has to come off for the new spark plugs.
Yes, I have a new gasket for it aswell.










Not too hard to get off, just annoying.

I found extremely pitting surfaces on my coolant housing.
I'm not sure if this is a metal mismatch or a form of electroloysis.
MD325299 FITTING, COOLING WATER OUTLET HOSE. Period: 1996.06.1-2001.03.3;
MD330403 FITTING, COOLING WATER INLET HOSE. Period: 1996.06.1-2001.03.3; 01

I also noticed the water temp sensors having some corrosion.
MD091056 GAUGE UNIT, WATER TEMPERATURE. Period: 1996.06.1-2001.03.3; 01
MD177572 SENSOR UNIT, WATER TEMPERATURE. Period: 1996.06.1-2001.03.3; 01

I have a feeling...My water pump might also have some corrosion...
MD302010 WATER PUMP ASSY. Period: 1996.06.1-2001.03.3; 01





















Redoing the wiring loom and other smaller 10mm coolant lines.  These feed the turbo.
