I remember that from school... Something stuck at least. Lol.

Huh. I didn't realize it was a thing. I also don't bench charge batteries that often. Guess when I do ill be super careful. [emoji15]

Holy crap.... I didn't know that was possible. Why/how does that happen?

Will do on the sealant. Thanks. :) Will be ordering a kit from Leroy for the waterpump, fan and clutch. :) For the sensor I was thinking of having both the factory and the second in the back of the head. But it seems like it wont be necessary. :)

I know the big issue is cooling for these engines and the newer water pumps help with that. Is it possible to put a temp sensor in the back of the head by #8 to keep an even closer eye, or is it not necessarily important? If so I would put in a separate gauge.

This? Or regular loctite brand?

Here it is on the stand. There was tons of mouse nest in the valley and all kinds of nasty. Took a screw driver and my shop vac and scraped and suck up all the nasty I could. Got the intake off and there was a lot of fuel from the leaking ffm so that will have to be cleaned out as well. Once I...

I do. Actually stopped there to get the bolts so I could put the engine on the stand. Ill go there this week some time. Thanks for the idea.

A thread chaser has a more ground end at the beginning of the threads where as an actual tap is sharp threads all the way?

Looking at the directions for the studs they recommend their "tap/thread chaser" its $50 on Amazon. [emoji33] would a regular tap work? My buddy has a huge tap and die set. Also which bolt holes go in water jackets for sealant purposes? Or just seal them all?

That I can do. Thanks AK. :)

Awesome. Nope, head gaskets are good. :) Should the bolts be replaced 1 at a time then? Seems like the best way....

I'm getting the engine torn down and going to be ordering some parts soon. I'm wondering can I take the headbolts out and put the ARP studs in without putting new gaskets in? Also if I get the ATT do I need to do studs, or would the head bolts be ok since there are no leaks? There might be a...

I didn't search that, but I will now.

I've pretty much made up my mind to stay with the auto. I've already got it, just need to get the controller when I swap. Plus I dont have to find all the manual parts or another tranny. :)

Oh I definitely want the ATT... [emoji3] Just tinkering currently. [emoji41]

Found the spin on one but there's 2 different a.c. delco's again with a huge price difference. In not worried about spending more money. Just would like to know if one is better, more proper than the other?

I'm also getting parts list together, does any one know the difference why there is such a big price difference between the 2 a.c. delco's?

The waste gate lever is stuck. Can I pull the back side of the housing off to get at the inside? Or is there a better way?
