    Things that I have learned on this build, CRC EvapoRust is amazing voodoo juice. An overnight soak and 15 minutes with a bristle brush did this to what was as rusty of a part as you can get This sprayer from HF is awesome! Fill it with bulk WD40, Blaster, or, here I have acetone in this one...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I ordered an oil cooler on Monday and it showed up by UPS a today. I have done some searches on here to see if anyone had any experience with this one but didn't come up with anything, so I wanted to pass on what showed up.

    I am lucky, except for the money they get from me, LMC Truck is about 20 miles from me. You can walk in and leave with a truck bed full of parts and broke

    No Cam End Play

    Hey guys, I installed a new cam gear on the original cam. I also installed a new Melling oil pump. The timing gear kit also crank shaft gear that I did Not install. My thoughts on that were to see if there was too much gear lash, not enough or just right. Well I am getting no end play at all on...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I did exactly that. I blast it with air and rotisserie'd it until I was sure the water was gone then copious amounts WD-40 on everything. By the way a tarp covered in Dawn soap water and WD is very slippery if not paying attention

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It looks like it could have some life in it after all. It feels smooth. Time will tell. That's all for tonight from me other than this, it was all I could do to accept that the piston oil jet bolt torque to only 7 ft/pounds. I had to go buy a new torque wrench to go that low and resist the urge...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yesterday I did the most "I don't wanna" thing I have done in awhile. My brain thought it was absurd but, the machinist said to do, I power washed my freshly machined motor block with Dawn in the soap despenser.
