Ain’t it the truth. Reminds of a former GF. 😁

Added some 1” black keepers to the adjustment straps. Passed the 55mph highway test. IMHO it tidies up the the aft section of the top. Before/after

Thank you, 33x10.5x15. Today’s progress.

Thanks

What brand of jack stands are those? Might have to remove my transmission as well.

I took the transmission down. I forgot/didn’t understood change the input axle seal when everything was open. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That chinese cheap motocross bike lift was a big help. So tight to get off, maybe easier with the bellhousing? 3B and H41 here.

Made brake lines for the first time. Hopefully they survive the leak test.

Here’s a map.

That is an oil galley Welch plug that goes bad on the rear of the block

Thanks! I have a borescope that I’m plan on using. Need to get the dye

UV dye in the coolant might help. With the light and a mirror or perhaps a cheap borescope that plugs into your phone. You could look between the fire wall and the engine. Dye $10 uv flashlight $10 scope $10 on ebay

Yeah I was planning on removing it.

You can get a loan a tool pressure tester at the local box a/p store. Remove the inspection cover and take a look.

That’s for the insight. I did look in that area earlier and it looked dry but can try that.

I looked for a second but need to look again. I’m currently cooking so going to head back out shortly

Pulling the transmission/t-case combo isn’t that much of a thing if the plug is really the issue. easily done in a few hours if not doing a bunch of “while you’re in there”. Do you have any other thoughts where it might be coming from?

Given the close proximity of the firewall mounted heater control valve and the drip you see, check this “warm pull” action to double check…I discovered a slow but steady drip when that valve was in the closed position on my 40. It did not drip...

I checked everywhere else and the surrounding area of the flywheel cover doesn’t have anything running on either side of it. I wiped the flywheel cover where its dripping from and once I finished wiping it started dripping again.

Lord I hope not because I don’t want to have to pull the transmission

There's a 50mm core plug on the back of the block. I'm trying to remember if it's behind the flywheel.

Started my 40 today to make sure she’s running properly before converting to a sniper only to find out that I have antifreeze leaking underneath my bell housing. This makes me sick to my stomach.
