damn brett your sooooo photogenic... :flipoff2:
I wanted to see how everything was going to fit so I put most of the motor together. Its kinda a tight fit on the power steering pump but it will work. Tommorrow I will bolt everything up and maybe put a shot of paint on some things.
I still need to mount my new gas tank and wire this bad dude up. I saved the fun part for last.
Fun part mean install axles from old blazer?
Yes that would be fun if I had a Blazer :flipoff2:Quote:

So I am going to try this vavle cover deal again.
Just for grins I would like to hear other peoples method for valve covers.
I myself like the cork gaskets. I generally glue the gaskets to the cover with 3M glue and then put a thin coat of vasoline on the cork and install them. The vasoline makes them come off easy and sometimes you can reuse them. Most of the time the cork gets really hard and bonds to the block and you are screwed.
I'd tighten the bolts back when I worked on old 7.3s. Seems they were allway loose. Don't remember ever changing one. On 258 silicon on both sides of gasket worked best.

Silicone on both sides of the cork has worked well on all our stuff.
On pigpen's oilpan I used a paper gasket with silicone on both sides per Oliver's instructions and it isnt leaking yet...but the ****ing tranny is now...
I ran into a small mishap on my part.
My computer is setup to run 1,3,7.... firing order
and my cam is setup to run 1,5,4..... firing order
So I am going to have to change the pin outs on my engine harness and do a 02 sensor mod to get this to act right.
Or some people just run it with the injectors firing at the wrong time and it seems to work alright.
Or I can pull the cam outta my other engine that is the 1,3,7 firing order
And then
I found this on the internet

I changed mine on my truck before I dropped an HO block in there, ran fine.
Try it, if it sucks put in a new cam. And hook it up to a wideband o2 and see if that guys is full of **** or not.
