[QUOTE="smc4wd, post: 1470682, member: 18999"] Sounds like someone has some extra rubber hose for sale, cheap! :redneck: So during the holidays I had a few things shipped to my buddies house and today I had the chance to see them (and photograph them). [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=330&pictureid=2493[/IMG] [B]3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 14"[/B] This cooler came from Speedway Motors... I think I'll run this as a tranny cooler and the other cooler that I got; I'll use that for the power steering. Two stumbling blocks were the timing cover (which was fixed) and a bent flex plate... I went and had the starter and alternator rebuilt at The Rebuilder, in Kent. Scott there does great work and is super fast (and inexpensive!). Today I had the chance to look at and install the new flex plate from B&M. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=330&pictureid=2494[/IMG] Even that was a job. Not huge, but the engine had to be hoisted back up and taken off the engine stand (4 bolts) we got it and the starter on and proceeded to do something that should have been done on day one... But with the timing bolt off and the flex plate being slightly bent the thought of, and trust from the guy I got the engine from, we didn't make 'checking the compression' a first on the list. Well bad fukking idea!! Bad, bad, bad!! The number #5 cylinder wasn't showing any compression :mad:. We double and triple checked ourselves and then I banged my head against a wall some more. :mad: :mad: We took off the header, off the plenum and off came the intake manifold. That got us to the head. Pretty easy since everything is right there looking at us. After having the head off, we diagnosed that is was a bent valve. We checked out the cylinder walls and they looked great. I ran out of money months ago and I did not want to get into the crank,honing, piston rings and crank bearings.
