ok time to get this damn thing nailed.
drained the oil lastnight.
got up this morning, filled the rad with water,
put the pressure tester on it, and yup.
water coming out of the oil pan.
ive taken a month break from this truck so I should be refreshed and ready to go.
I got it stripped down this afternoon, and I see what appears to me,
a spot where the gasket lifted . you can see the darker spot on the back of the cover.
the block side looked good.
further more, im not too impressed with the elephant snot aka Permatex aviation sealant.
I can rub it off the block with ease.
I will be using Permatex anaerobic stuff this time with my new cover.
