I don't know if I am reading it right but it sounds like it works great and until the third or fourth time when the bolts loosen up, or stretch, just slightly enough to change the alignment. I'd recommend getting grade 8.8 or better flange bolts, doing away with any lock washers, and using...

Can't say for sure but you may have some wear on your crank snout that is not letting the seal seal for long.

Oh yes and one other thing, be careful prying on sealing surfaces, you don't want to create a leak area by marring it. It's usually easily fixable but just something you want to avoid.

Well, if you put the bolts back in the pan and moved on, I don't think it would be any worse. The issue is usually that the gaskets harden and crack from heat and age and so everything might seem tight but you have seepage from an area where a piece of gasket fell out. Personally, if I was in...

You may have to either use an engine hoist to lift the engine up or a jack to raise the front of the engine so that you can remove the pan. Also the pickup is there and if it...

Thanks! I probably will post a new thread so I don't whore up this poor guy's or anyone elses! My only problem is taking a break and snapping pictures. When I get rolling, I like to keep going! But I am fully documenting my as-good-as-factory spray bomb paint job right now.

Don't be too discouraged!! My truck ran pretty good, started up on the first revolution of the engine, but was pushing major league oil in to the air filter. Then it would end up burned out the exhaust. I checked the left cylinder bank and found the cylinders were around 75 PSI, 100 PSI being...

I apologize for the misinformation. I am looking at the 83 / 84 2.8L diagram right now and you are absolutely right!

I understand what you are saying bud. The emissions cr*p is a rat's nest at best (though not the worst I have seen... try an 80's RX7 especially the turbo's). Both of those should be emissions only devices. However, there may be the side effect of a check engine light if they are removed. My...
