What happens here

After the cooling components are in place, the heat exchanger's coolant system needs to be filled. Use a funnel to slowly add coolant through the reservoir while checking for any leaks. Also, ensure the pump for the heat exchanger is functioning. The presenter notes that his pump doesn't come on with key power, requiring further investigation to ensure proper operation once the engine is running.

Goal: Fill the heat exchanger coolant system and verify pump functionality.

Tools and materials

  • Funnel — Aiding in cleanly pouring coolant into the reservoir
  • Heat Exchanger LSX — Component being filled with coolant
  • Coolant — Filling the heat exchanger system

we're not going to you know overdo that now i am filling up the heat exchanger coolant line thingy with bob thingy bob it's fun you think it's oh it's taking stickers it comes off the top okay let's take it it comes out the top for like 20 minutes that's pretty much what we're doing so i'm gonna turn the key and run the pump because i think it comes on with key power i also need to make sure that the pump actually still comes on i don't know if it will i don't know if it runs with key power or if it runs while the engine is on i i can't remember it should be if the key is on i think so the fact that it's not running now doesn't bode well for my hypothesis does it i guess i'll just keep filling it and see if i can figure out why it doesn't work later look what came in the mail
