Check the connection on the anodes first.

Man Brad, it sounds like you're involved in some real cave man mechanics.

Try e-bay for the gasket.

I've had to use a large C clamp to get them close.

He'll fab up the crossmember as part of the kit.

Otherwise you'll have to deal with the crossmember.

The linkage issues were solved for me by using Jerry's kit (Bratsrus1). It's slick, and there's no grinding, muss or fuss. It looks professional when you're done, and Jerry's a great guy. HE will come through for you.

Hey Zap, that was a good start on the trip up here. You should have kept going. You'd probably be here by now. (And then I'd have a good excuse to buy some king crab for dinner.)

Check the USRM for a template and ideas on how to fab up an adaptor.

Too good. A cognito - you wouldn't recognize it.

If I can't attend (and I probably can't) can you mail them. If not, maybe Snowman can get me one.

We go back around the 16th of August - after getting out June 13th! I am very tempted to be ill, but I'd have to come incognito.

In every cloud (of smoke) there's a silver lining. You were looking for a reason to do the transplant anyway, I would imagine.

Now I'm really pissed at the school board for changing the start dates for school in the Fall. :mad:

Hit it with some PB Blaster (or comparable product) and go have a half dozen beers. Try again tomorrow. Frustration will get the better part of you everytime and cause you to do irrational things that may end up a catastrophe.

Get in tyouch with Mark (XSNRG). He lives very near you.

At worst, a helicoil for the spark plug would cost $25.

Are you missing the (bucks) in the middle of your name?

Ed, any idea on the mileage of the one with a potentially good motor? 2.2?

I didn't know that Ohio was on one side or the other. I always though it was more toward the middle third of the nation. That's what I get for being in Alaska - the state that most often appears on maps somewhere off the coast of Mexico:lol:

What's shipping to 99567?

Have your new hubby buy you one.

Welcome to the board. Hope to see more posts.

Nice typo!

I get wild fluctuations in oil presure when driving my 88 XT6. Even after a fresh oil change, the pressure can go from 80 psi to just above 0 psi. When I accelerate, the pressure climbs and then levels out at about 45psi and then drops. Is it common for the pressure to fluctuate like this if the oil pump is on its way out? Or could the pressure sensor be crapping out on me? Sometimes the lifters knock at the low reading, and sometimes not. Guesses?
