Low voltage after battery and alternator replacement

Hello:

I recently replaced the alternator with a remanufactured Bosh, and installed a new Interstate battery. Unfortunately, I am only 13.42 volts while the engine is running without any accessories on.

Please advise

Hello:

Thoughts, comments, recommendations?

I recently completed a head gasket repair and replaced every coolant hose in the system, including a new radiator, bottle and cap. Unfortunately, I am building pressure somewhere and bubbling over at the cap. I have been unable to detect any issues with cross contamination with the oil and engine co...

Thermostat Housing

Cracked the thermostat housing during my head install. Yes, I was using a torque wrench and still cracked it. :roll:

As such, I need a replacement for my 98 s70 T5

Thanks!

Re: Mystery Bolt

After much advice, and additional diligence, I discovered that the "mystery bolt" attached the oil cooler thermostat to the engine block. At some point in time, this bolt was swapped for the torx and was tapped to accommodate this larger bolt.
