ah you figured it out eh? LOL

[fowljesse]

Yeah, dude.
Can I punch things?

I'm jealous. I have no one to help or work with me. No one with experience like cjthor or mooneggs. I use a cheap Chilton manual, tons of pages printed from the Internet and a lot of luck. I do have a friend who sits back and constantly heckels me just for moral support. Waiting to hear more.

Make sure you pull those plugs, put some oil in the cylinders and turn it over ALOT before you before this thing up. Thats ALOT of work sitting in your garage Jaird

Dont I know it! Its all sitting in the back of my truck right now. Im trying to get a lift for the shop by the weekend but the STUPID company that I ordered it from might be delayed a week. BOoOoOoO!!!!

After what I've been through the last few days... check the threads where the half shaft bolts in!

If your talking about the 2 or 3 mount bolt holes in the block it's comon for them to corrode. You can simply ream and tap them out to accept a 7/16 FT bolt. Took me like 10 mins.

Trust me, they are fine

The engine had been sitting in my garage for about a year.
