    Yay progress. A tip, make sure that last bellhousing bolt is out. The board was a dumb idea.

    Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

    I had to clean out the back of an all you can eat garbage pile in the back of their stolen pick up truck. In July after sitting in the sun for a week before they found it. I feel the grossness.

    Oil Filter Adapter Gasket Kit

    Copper has been used on banjo bolts and oil drain plugs for years. Use the original bolts and the shiny washers should seal at least in my old man brain.

    Oil Filter Adapter Gasket Kit

    No drip, able to park on anybobodys concrete drive is the goal. The motor coming out has 180,000 miles with no leaks. Thats what I'm aiming for.

    Oil Filter Adapter Gasket Kit

    The one in the middle is the original GM washer. The question is will the copper washers work? The nearest bike shop is a couple hour drive.

    Oil Filter Adapter Gasket Kit

    Yup he did, trying to find out which washers he bought. I really don't want to spend 40 bucks for two washers. These bonded washers are what I think he's talking about. But I don't see how they'd seal around the shank. https://www.fmwfasteners.com/collections/bonded-washers

    Oil cooler adapter mount bolts seal

    I found some info searching here but can't get back to it. When the motor is reinstalled I want to insure the bolts seal for the adapter. 00120393 was pointed out to be the correct washer. Having a hard time find them for sale as they've been discontinued. Anyone use copper washers instead?

    Pesky bolts are out, 2 motor mount bolts left. Have to get my derrick put back together. Timing cover, t stat and water pump should be here Friday. Waiting on heads. Finally. This would have been a few day job with a dang garage.

    At least you had concrete.

    Decided to build a garage. Now the fun begins.

    Just a suggestion but you might consider sheets of osb all the way around at ground level. I can here you now if you rip it somehow.

    Let the fun begin.

    Finally got a chance to work on Virginia again today. Of course the blasted heat shield has 2 nuts holding it on. Got the bottom one off. And suprise,surprise I was able to got the torque converter bolts out. 2 motor mount bolts and the rest of the pesky heat shield bolts and the motors loose...

    You're right. The dash was in a 1972 BMW 2002.

    ***** Wagon

    Today is my first time watching Tarantino's, Kill Bill. I saw the star of the show for the first time as well. Tarantino drove it as his personal ride for a while, till he found out too many people were recognizing him. Probably not news to most of you.

    First post

    Good luck with the new truck! A bit of wrenching and you'll be rolling. Welcome from West Virginia.

    Wow, thanks. Those pics are actually a big help. I can see the orientation of the connector now. How in the word are you supposed to reach those if the heads are on? I was sitting in there to get the one for the vent line. It sure wouldn't matter on the assembly line, but dang the mechanic.

    Let the fun begin.

    I agree. What's concerning me is to get to the nut I have to move a connector for something. So hopefully I'll figure it out from underneath. I'm thinking it's the O2 sensor.

    Not yet. Wanted to get everything I could from the top first. And that's just the two motor mount bolts now. I've been really careful of the the mount clips, and don't want to break anything there.

    Thanks, I got the one that held the trans vent, but the one holding that heat shield is occluded by the wiring. I couldn't make sense of it by feel, and you sure can't see it.
