Actually... I have two blocks here with two different thread sizes. I suppose it's possible that one was retapped...

Ya, me too. :)

And then did a whole shitload more assembly. Right now I am SO sore and tired it's not funny - 14 hours of work on it today. Some of which, admittedly, was driving around to get bits and pieces, or taking the tranny to the shop to steam clean 15 years of muck off of it.

Steam cleaned the tranny today. What a difference!

As I have my engine and tranny out at the moment, it was pretty easy to take some pics of the infamous truck shifter gasket. Anyone care to take these and do a short writeup for the FAQ section? I'm too damn tired...

Uh huh... sure. I assure you, *I* won't be testing that anytime soon. What happens when you put it down, after pissing it off like that? Three guesses, and the first two don't count.

Sorry I didn't call yesterday night - I went directly to dinner from work and from there straight into the theatre to see Serenity - (AWESOME flick, by the way) and spent all day today working on assembling my engine. Does it sound like someone is whacking away at the block with a hammer?

Pretty simple - grab an oilcan and fill it with oil before installing it.

Ok, I'll see what I can do for you.

Just a video of the engine running? Or something as it is going into the engine bay? Or as it's being built up? I've got no problems donating footage (tho getting longer than 30 second clips into the computer is tough for me at the moment, I don't have a video input device) I just need to...

I did 6 years in the cell for that... and I still can't speak or understand it for shit.

Video? What kind of video are you looking for?

It's pretty easy to tell which one is correct. Wait until they disagree, then fill it with fuel. Check how many gallons / litres it takes to fill at this point. Compare how much fuel you put in with the capacity of the fuel tank, and you will know how close to empty it was, after which...

This is absolutely correct. I use a standard Bosch sensor on mine, and splice it into the harness whenever I need to change it. The two similar color wires are the heater element, it doesn't matter which one gets wired into what wire on the harness, as long as you get the signal wire correct.

ROFLMAO!
