I like the look and operation that I can see. Are they also marker lights. On my M1031 the front markers are also turn signals, so I a little confused about the first post. But if they can do both I am very interested. And I just got the smoked lenses…

I looked up the gaskets to see what else it may fit. Every listing is for a J code 6.2l diesel. I had thought that as it is a small block chevy that it may have fit some other engines that had coolant flow in the intake. Guess not. Then I have no idea about the cutouts.

Lol. This is how I did it before

I believe I will use straps for removal. I have the engine stand. I have had it out before. Fun times ahead! Putting the assembled engine back in requires me to remove the front tires so the cherry picker can clear the radiator support.

Looking for some help. I am ready to pull the block out of the truck. I have never pulled just a block out before. Where is it safe to bolt onto the block? Heads are off. I do not want to break the block lifting it out using headbolt holes.

Had some down time today. Finished up my t-shirt design. Getting ready to have a few made. Feel free to download and have your own made. I have a front logo if you want the big picture on the back.

Well. I cannot find where anything was wrong on either side. I am a victim of my own assumptions. And, as Reacher would say, assumptions kill. In this case my wallet and my clock. That is what I get for not doing the rational thing of flushing the system and refilling it to look for leaks, maybe...

Could not get anything done without soldier number 2.

Well… No internal coolant leak on the passenger side.

You line up the IP gears before removal so you do not have to try to turn the IP to re-install it back into the gear. That keeps the alignment pin on the IP in the right place for reassembly.

As I read the manual, remove the IP gear from the IP first, then remove the IP camshaft gear. Then rotate the engine until the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks line up. Next replace the chain and gears. Re-install the IP gear on the camshaft. Rotate the engine again until the timing mark on...

Here we go again. .. time to pull the heads to see what is leaking.

Here is what I have.

I had the same issue when I put my truck back together ( broke the stud off). I used 1/4” all thread and replaced the entire bolt in the starter. 1/4” all thread may be an issue as you are in Italy.

So, just a scraper and razor blades…
