One plus to working at Ford is that since I get to destroy the clunkers, I took the liberty of scavenging a power steering cooler off of a 99 Ford Explorer befor blowing the motor. Figure I'll integrate it into the power steering system as to have the fins help in cooling the fluid.
ok, re-checked the values i had for the shim sizes and updated the list above. Going to feed the rope back into cylinder 3 and remove the spring from E6 to have it preped for when i can debur it and fix the issues im having w/ the lifter bucket.

heh, i beg to differ kind sir. both terms apply only when torn appart and in the repair phase. I got tons of joy and fun out of that 7M for the 3 months it was running. now if only i can keep it running for more than 3 months this time.
