Thanks Mark, it is a an F135. Going to give you a call tomorrow for some other stuff and hopefully you have a couple of those bolts too. I really appreciate you following my thread and all your help!
Thank you Mark, I found the thimble, need to spring clean the garage.
New challenge, the bolts spreadsheet and the bolts I got from Specter call for 10M x 1.25 for the thermostat housing to block. The bolts didn’t fit. A 9M x 1.25 was tight. Do I re-thread these with a 10M x 1.25 tap?
Head bolts in and torqued to 90 ft lbs. Unfortunately, the Dupli-color high temp engine paint I used chipped when I torqued the bolts down. I guess I’ll just mask everything else off an paint around the bolts, ugh…
Thanks Mark, I chased the threads prior to setting the head back on, but to be safe, pulled it back off, marked my tap to insure it was the full thread depth, and re-chased them.
While I wait on the spacer to arrive, I decided to get back to the engine. I got new head bolts (thanks @Racer65) and upon inspection are slightly longer (old on left, new on right), will this matter? Additionally, it appears the washer is captured, am I correct? And lastly, the diagrams I’ve...
Thank you @firemanj92 , picked up that FIPG and got the nose cone and top shifter cover installed. Found out I may have lost another thing, does anyone know the part number for the spacer? I can't find mine.
Need a smarter brain than mine, what’s the easiest way to bend this clip down so it stays in place? I removed the old ones to paint this and wish I hadn’t.
Thanks guys! Spring blocking adjuster hole, check. @Pighead, that anti-seize should come with a disposable suit, gloves and booties, it gets everywhere. Good thing it's easy to wash off.
Started practicing with my Caswell kit on parts nobody else will see, but need corrosion protection. Would like them a little brighter.
Is this the right configuration for the cylinders on the passenger side rear? Top adjuster on the front side. (Right side of pic is towards the front)
