What is the GRINDING NOISE Coming From My Engine Compartment? The Blue Bomber Knows!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hello to all our Great Friends and awesome Subscribers and the followers of the Mighty Blue Bomber! Well we had to change the water pump out and in the process found some great tips and tricks to share with you! Quote of the Week! *The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy*

[@wolverine89893]

That is really interesting on the water pump and how you put the seal on. The belt tensioner tool looks amazing glad you taught us how to make one. Well to get the $60K asking price you will have to drop in a Lambo engine. Then it would not be called the Blue Bomber but the Blue Demon. 😂😂

[@SweetProjectCars]

We are always looking for ways to improve our stuff, maybe a Lambo engine is just what we need! LOL! Thanks for watching and for the great comment, have a great weekend wolverine! mad Mike & team

Gates parts are really cool. I use their hoses and belts all the time. Great video!

[@SweetProjectCars]

We agree, great parts for sure! Thanks for watching. mad Mike & team

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Thanks for sharing, Mike. I have been using Gates parts for years, and I'm super stoked. On my old BMW e36, I used Dolz water pumps. They lasted longer than the BMW ones. That's crazy. Have a great weekend, Regards Nico.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Good stuff Nico!! Thanks for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike & team

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, Hey 👋 Mike the Hammer!!! On my 2000 F-350 7.3, back in 2003 my OEM water pump went out just as I got home from work. As I pulled into my driveway antifreeze went everywhere under my truck, lucky, I bought the Gates aftermarket water pump, it's still going strong here in 2024, almost 2025. Coming up on 21 years with the Gates pump in my diesel💪"it's toooough!!!"😂 My last alignment on my truck was $150 so, ima bring'n my ride down to Hoolio Rodriguez Sanchez Philipé Martinez Biden for my next alignment🤠 Ha a mostest Awesomeness Blessed day and weekend my friend!!! ~Jay~

[@SweetProjectCars]

LOL, you know how to get the team laughing, Jay!! HA! Hoolio's waiting for you :) We sure appreciate you always being here with us, hope you have a fantastically blessed weekend as well my friend. mad Mike & team

[@unionbetty]

Again blown away thanks

[@tundrajt]

Great video! I never thought to smear the silicone on the gasket once you seal it to the pump. I have done a few of these as well with the o-ring gasket but have never done that. Will do now that I have seen it!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, glad it helped my friend! Hope you have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike & team

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@SweetProjectCars]

You got it my friend, thanks for watching! Have a blessed weekend, Michael. mad Mike & team

[@realmicrobet]

Do you do that trick with the gasket maker for other gaskets?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Yes, we do this method anyplace there's a gasket. Thanks for watching and asking, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike

[@Leonardokite]

I like how you take a project car like the blue bomber and previously boomzilla and show your restoration. Good stuff my man! And forgive me, but Chrysler products just suck. IMO of course.

[@SweetProjectCars]

I hear ya! LOL, thanks, have a great weekend Leonard. mad Mike & team

[@1951Roy]

Thanks for sharing the difference in water pumps. I just had my radiator and serpentine belt at a local garage. 2004 KIA Sorento, I paid the shop $1020 to do the work. How does this price sound, it was not a rush job.

[@SweetProjectCars]

That price sounds outrageous, Roy! Sorry buddy. We really appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike & team

[@hiramruiz9067]

Love ur videos. I have a 2002 pontiac trans am and I have to change the original 02 sensor. Looks pretty rusted in there. Hit me, guru, what cha got to solve the potential problem

[@SweetProjectCars]

First, you need to soak it down for a good couple days with this tinyurl.com/bdf6a6ky then if you want to make sure you don't have any issues, get yourself one of these amzn.to/3BieWVQ Now, I know it's not cheap, but if you snap that oxygen sensor off it's going to cost you way more than the kit, or find someone you can borrow one from. Thank you so much for watching and asking, hope you have a fantastic weekend and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike & team

[@Spiritof_76]

Cut off the wire and use a deep socket or 6 point wrench and extension or long breaker bar, use oxy-acetylene torch to heat the exhaust pipe around the sensor.

[@phyllismulkey3778]

good info

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

I just made my own bar last week out of a flat bar and a broken ratchet.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Nice work!! Way to get creative my friend, I love that!! Thanks for the view and comment, hope you have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike

1st💥🏆 “…it’s 0900, windy, and 10° F in northwestern Illinois, and it is freeze-drying the skin off the side of my face”

[@SweetProjectCars]

LOLOL!! Thanks for the laugh this morning Eric!! We really appreciate the view, hope your skin isn't totally frozen off :) I gotta say, I don't miss that cold weather, Florida is a little chilly this week, but nothing like that :( Hope you have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike & team

[@coburn_karma]

You always think outside the box Mike!

[@SweetProjectCars]

It's what I do my friend, I've always studied things to see if I can make them better. We sure appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike & team

[@alexdashevsky2180]

I don’t like Gate’s no more the don’t have good quality no more. They don’t manufacture no more in USA. But this is my opinion

[@SweetProjectCars]

I don’t know what you are talking about my friend, you can see the quality difference between the two pumps, and as far as being made in the US, I don’t think there’s a car part that’s made in the US anymore that’s why we need a president that will bring manufacturing back to the USA! Thanks, have a great day. mad Mike

[@alexdashevsky2180]

@ I am not arguing with you. Just my opinion. I don’t care you like it or not.

[@MrWayneJohn1]

You are great example why children need education beyond 4th grade.😂

Thanks as always for watching David!! We appreciate you buddy, hope you have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike & team

[@alexguzman5547]

Good grief, every video of the fixes on the Blue Bomber makes me wonder how it ever made it back to your place after purchase. 🫣 Thanks for sharing Mike.

[@SweetProjectCars]

LOL Well my friend, it has been a real challenge, and just like the title says, we are always updating! Thanks for the view, have a great weekend Alex, we appreciate you buddy! mad Mike & team
