I would think that a vapor barrier would sure enough help, better then dropping it on the ground, I would lay a heavy plastic layer down if I could ?
What is a proper under-hood ground wire gauge? This is going from the firewall to a bell housing bolt... seems maybe a 8 gauge braided?
It was added when they did the electronic ignition upgrade.

Chili. Day 2 It's some powerful stuff.
Tunes ....gotta have tunes
ADD THEM TO THIS! 
Pretty mild temps here for the next week or so yet. In upper 30's, I will take it as long as it is available. Been toying with pulling the 440 out of the Demon first thing this spring to reseal up the oil pan, I believe that is where my leak is coming from. Between now and then, I want to take both 660's apart, clean and verify jets, jet plate, transfer slot exposure, etc. Maybe over Christmas break now that we are not planning to go to GA. We'll see
Crap I forgot about dinner and I'm the chief cook so looks like left overs. I got chicken left overs so maybe a chicken enchilada or might do a taco chicken salad.
Probably the rear main. Those seal retainers are a pain.

I thought your MIL was head cook at your place now?
I remember using a gasket shellac when it put it together and it leaked in other areas where I did that and have repaired it since. The pan unfortunately means I need to pull the damn motor. Do I get the aluminum seal retainer I see many use? Windage tray right away too?
Anyone use either of these?
Not badly priced. I think the gasket would be the way to go. Make sure your pan is straight and the bolt holes are flat. Mancini should have a new rear seal retainer that works well.
Her cats were a pain so I told her they need to go away soon so she got real upset and threatened to kill me. so booted her and the cats out.
Took her gun away from her and she has a nice apartment not far away so me and the kids keep an eye on her.
Life is back to almost normal.

I bet I put 5 gallons of
on those 2 we put at the rock farm
Well worth it though. The old tool room/parts stash was underneath 2 active conveyor belts with another 10' away and 2 3' cone crushers within 30'
and a 4x16' shaker screen 40' over your head Not a pleasant place to be looking for stuff when the plant was underway

Once upon a time I held position on Board, for the Port of Tacoma. Let’s just say the above is an accurate assessment!Check for roof leaks. Them things don't exactly get handled in a gentle fashion

Same here . Never had a problem.
Plus only about 40 minutes from my place .
I’ve never had any issue with that. That said, IF that is a concern, a Taurus semi might be the choice. Every Taurus I’ve owned has tossed the brass straight back and slightly to the left. Even though they’re not cut for it. My wife sold hers for that reason cause as a righty, it was hitting her in the forehead.
The steel one with double gaskets or the gasket/windage tray combo?
I went with the steel one with double gaskets. Nothing to report though as my 440 hasn’t been filled yet lol
