Drained and flushed my cooling system. Installed a brand new reservoir tank and cap, too. Unfortunately, this did not solve my low heat issue.
While bleeding the air out of the cooling system, I discovered that my outflow of the heater core was very low. Looks like I'm going to have to replace it or have it super flushed before next winter. The intake hose was nice & hot with the engine up to operating temp, but the return hose was not hot, and even with the hose removed off the nipple enough to expose the air bleeder hole, no coolant would leak out of the hole. All I got was a feeble drip or two out of the bottom of the return hose.
I reverse flushed it last fall with CLR, but that didn't work as well as I hoped it would.
Oh well, at least I have new G12 in there now to keep the engine nice & cool.

Team, same thing happened to me. Turns out it was a bunch of little rocks wedged between the threads and the perch. I had to remove the coilover, put it in a vice grip and use a BAW to turn them. Every time I adjust them now I spray on a little wd-40 for lubrication and I haven't had them stuck since. My little notches are fucked too, but I still manage. That's probably my only complaint with ST, the plastic.
Yeah I was gonna vice it but I figure i'll just leave it til the new perch comes in.
I said the same thing to kw about the plastic and they said it's supposed to seize a lot less then metal. At least with metal you sort of strong arm it

O no that sounds like your secondary 02 sensor is bad not your SAI pump.
