PT Cruiser: Cylinder Head Gasket, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Oil Pump, Oil Pan Gasket & More

- Taking a recently acquired PT Cruiser and replacing gaskets (including the Cylinder Head Gasket), Belts, Pulleys, Pumps, and more from top to bottom.
NOTE: Though you will see me disconnect the Power Steering Hose from the Pump this is not necessary for this repair. This footage was taken because I was also working on the Steering/Suspension on this PT Cruiser. Please keep in mind that if you disconnect the Power Steering Line you will need to bleed to Power Steering System after refilling the fluid.

hi there, i resenlty bought a pt cruiser 2008 and i love it as i love your videos. thnx for all the teachings. i have so much to do on it and your videos are quite impressive.
Thank you for the comment. Congrats on the PT purchase and I hope you have fun working on it, learning about it and driving it!
Take care
Man what a deep dive, another great one. Do you remember which video that shows the hard coolant lines bolted on the intake side to the engine? Just noticed a leak coming from ours after smelling coolant during a couple drives with my daughter as we get her learner's permit hours in. This is right after I just took apart our rear driver's door lock from the inside because it was rusted shut. Waiting on a part this weekend to get that repaired. Always something...
Hey Phil! I hope you are well. I'm surprised the rear driver's door lock was rusted in place - that's very rare - I wonder if there is a leak in the window seal or something else dripping down onto it?
I think this is the part you are concerned about (it has an O-Ring where it enters the engine block and coolant flows in from the Water Pump) that maybe has gone bad:

In looking for other videos where I get at the Water Pump Inlet Tube I found these:

This one might be the most helpful - from where I am reassembling my swapped Turbo Motor (Go to about 25:24 in):

@@PTBubbles Thanks, doing well. The hard lines are on the opposite side, and appear to be discontinued. I might just swap it out completely with rubber lines. Someone on a dodge forum remade theirs with soldered copper plumbing pipes. 😂
@@philsowers Ah - so where they wrap around on the Driver's side? Yeah that might be a junkyard only item at this point unless you can fabricate/create something on your own. I'm sure there are so many options these days that would let you make something yourself. Good luck!
