Are you really putting these in already or are you planning ahead. Last I heard you were having difficulties putting the engine and transmission together. |

I use blue lock tight on mine, works well. I don't use the gaskets, just silicon. Never had one come loose yet.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That is good news Mike. You are ahead of schedule. Lots of luck. What is with the MPS (The one with the rattle)? Was that your original one or did that come with the motor? |

Look in member vendors section for Dr Evil's cv bolts. he has them so you can safety wire them from backing out. He provides the wire and instructions on how to do it.
