2.2L water inlet pipe leak
Monday, July 30, 2012 8:38 AM
Have an '02 2.2L my sons races in UCAR at Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas Va.

Recently developed a small leak in the water inlet pipe that goes into the head. The leak is at the welded 90 degree bend and got worse during practice this past weekend. Had to use an old racers trick of using an egg to plug the leak before his race. It worked, no leak... and he WON his first race!

Anyway, need a permanent repair now, and would like to know if there are any after market water inlets that fit an '02 2.2L engine? Seems to me a welded 90 degree bend is a weak point waiting to happen...

thanks in advance,
Keith
