Thank you! Yes, I tried measuring the fitment following an article on Hughes Engines website. The wax wire they sell ripped when I took the manifold off. Using solder wire instead I got different measurements both times I tried. So, I decided to throw caution to the wind and install it as is...

Here's the water pump housing anxiously awaiting some Evaporust. Now, on to the intake manifold. I wanted to get it hot tanked but when I brought it to the shop they said their radiator guy quit and took all his **** with him and no one else in town has a hot tank! So, after a media blast it was...

For the valve covers I glued the gasket to the cover with 3M's yellow snot and left the head side dry. The balancer I'm using only has painted on markings, no groove. So, I made sure the mark was at exact top dead center and taped a couple wood blocks on both sides of it. A little work with a...

All right, I suppose I could get an update out there. I cut down the adjusters under the baffles pretty much flush with the lock nut. I put some clay inside the valve covers and turned the engine over a couple of times. And...everything clears! One gasket and no spacer, cool!! I gained about...

I bought a CJ 7 Jeep in December last year. On the ride home I hit some black ice on the highway and immediately started sliding! My first thought was that I was going to be sideways when I hit dry pavement and total the Jeep within an hour of buying it. I managed to keep it straight but was...

I agree. Get that stereo pumping out some tunes!

I was truly upset when I turned on the TV Saturday morning, as an adult, and loony tunes was not on!

Nobody has said it yet, so I'll throw it out there. Vincent Price!!!

And, now I'm here. I referred to Hughes Engines website for direction. I was measuring for pushrod length. The longer I made the pushrod, the more valve lift I got. So much so that I made the pushrod as long as possible before it hit the rocker arm. I think I'm going to cut off the threads on...

Yes, they are destroying the everglades! Responsible pet owners don't turn them loose when they are done with them.

Trust me, when you've been taking care of the same snake for over 30 years, you get a bond. I still love taking him out having him hang out on my neck. They're no dog but fascinating creatures all the same!

Yeah, mine takes long, long naps...

I ended up using 1 Superformance and 1 Fel-pro gasket. The Superformance had some interference issues with the bottom of the windage tray and the Fel-pro did not.

This guy has been my buddy for over 30 years! And, snakes make awesome pets! They don't make any noise, you only feed them every week or two. If you wanted, you could leave on vacation for months and they would be just fine when you got back. Kids love them, too!

Split gasket!

I thought everything was going great with the oil pan install until I saw this! ****, that's a do over. The only spec I had said 15 ft lbs. from two different sources. The second time I went with 10 lbs. and I'll call that good! I ended up doing the timing chain cover twice, as well! It...

OK, so it seems I'm continuing my one step forward two steps back approach to this project. But the oil pan, timing cover, balancer and heads are all installed! I know I'm going at a snails pace but that's the way it is. The windage tray hung over all over the place so I cut off everything...

I have a 1969 one that was working fine when I pulled it from my GTX over 20 years ago. But, I'm in North Dakota.

That's great news! For you and me. I've got a 26" Glen-Ray to go in my X!

Fuel to the fire! This is my 1970 FSM. 200 in.-lbs. Look on the bottom row. That equals 16.67 ft-lbs. Yeah, time and gaskets change!
