Monday
- Truck in the air for the first of many times... #2
- Surveyed the mess of oil under my truck. #3
- Transfer Case out. #4
- One dirty ransmission on its way. #5
- Motor getting ready for its 'escape'. #6
- We realized my oil loss problem was from my intake manifold being improperly installed. Rubber gaskets around the pcv valve and oil fill
tube were both missing and the foam that sits under intake manifold was actually folded over, not allowing the manifold to be tightened
down properly. #7,8
- Motor on its way out. #9
- Started work on the truck at 7am and had the transfer case/transmission/motor out before noon.
- Empty engine bay. #10
- Passenger side. Cylinder 2 got the worst of it, and piston 4 was the only one not missing pieces. #11,12,13
- Drivers side, all missing chunks. #14
- Pieces of piston in the oil pick up tube. #15
- Number 2 piston out of the cylinder. #16
Tuesday
- My new Block ready to go together #18
- Ross Pistons and Crower Rods. Not taking any chances, expensive rods.
- Denny grabs the lube and gets busy on new 370
