When I changed my oil pan and gasket I placed the gasket on a flat surface and then the pan on top. It seemed to conform better on the ends and using the poser method of install my pan is good to go.

Took the 40 for the post-brake-work test drive: stops straight and true and braking power is back to where it should be.
And I gave it a quick spray wash at the local car wash. It likely had been a couple years since I last cleaned the exterior.

E-brake. Check the seal, you're probably going to see something that looks like this. Output shaft seal gone bad. Double seal kit and a little FIPG on the splines. There’s a couple different vendors who can hook you up. Several threads on the culprit and the institutional remedies.

That’s looks fantastic. I’ve really been thinking about selling my 15s and stepping to this.
I really couldn't be any happier with them. CityRacer was awesome and got the tires on from SimpleTire via Amazon.

"if there ain't oil under it, there ain't oil in it".
Finally got my clutch issue settled, and can now reliably drive it, after a bit over a year's labor.

My younger cousin just got done painting his 45 and brought it round to show me. He's 20 and about where I was when I rebuilt my first 45 a little over a decade ago...
He has kept his largely stock, and mine is, well, not
I didn't think I had put that much lift into mine until he parked his next to mine.
Freshly built 2H in his, as well as every rubber and seal new as well.

As a geezer myself, lifting tires by hand is a thing of the past. Try this video showing use of legs and back. Worked for me.
Have always done that.

I thought I invented that...
Built my new bumper, mounted it and installed the mighty 8274. I had an old bumper with an original Warn winch plate. The bumper was busted up, but the plate was still good. I had a local shop bend up a piece of 1/4" steel for the bumper. Next up is wiring the winch.
Has anyone installed the gigglepin contactor in the engine bay? I would love to see some pictures as I am trying to find space in mine.
