@Icetech

Getting everything staged and completely re- running and shift, park and speedometer cables was a solid move. Much cleaner runs and better clearance around the down pipe. One of these days I'll need to rework the brake lines from the master cylinder to the distribution block. Not super happy with it.

my cable only run one way.. sounds like you are getting close :) hope it goes well
 
Well now I'm not sure that we don't have 'em here.
The game camara caught a couple possums. OK no surprise.

I thought I spotted what looked like a Maine Coon cat. Slight surprise as there was a couple who had one but I thought they moved -nor did it ever roam beyond its yard with them.

Neighbor said she saw a couple racoons walk up the street a few days ago.
But some of these photos may be racoons but I'm not so sure.

k.. timing covert gasket kit ordered.. hopefully i can get this apart and back together pretty quickly... this is where i wish i had used less silicone :)
did a timing chain in my 340 about every 6 months. should have bought the good Cloyes set but went with the stock replacement type. I would use yellow death weatherstrip adhesive and glue the timing cover gasket to the timing cover and the water pump gasket to the water pump. on the gasket that went to the mating surface, I used a yellow Valvoline grease. never used silicone...I had bought a 383 from a guy and he used so much of it on the timing cover, it was on the chain and gears. swore off it at that point. yes, my set-up would "weep" oil at spots on the timing cover but didn't leak water.

i use a VERY thin layer i smooth with my finger on both sides of the gasket.. so it doesn't press into the motor.. i just hate leaks and can't not glue things together...

And yeah.. a good timing set is worth it.. mine is a Trick Flow billet set $99
 
I just got back from grocery shopping and the only thing I got was a bend over and hand me your wallet.

Yup.. just read an article from the USDA that meat is going to keep going up for the foreseeable future also.... WINNING!!! don't look at your receipt... the news says you are paying less.
 
Was trying to get my hair cut before I left for MITP but 5 times that I tried the 2 Barber shops were closed. It's a 100 mile round trip to get to the closest Barber.
Looks like I'm going to the car show with long hair. :BangHead:
