- Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
After a LOT of fighting today, broke the engine free of the trans (4.0 clutch is going to have to wait - the one I thought I smoked out is still perfect - go figure).
Found some sh*t in the oil pan - mostly debris from abrasive wheels (awesome, you idiot ?) a piece of metal half the size of a Dime (no clue, and can't find what it goes to; probably a chunk of the junk lifters I put in), and a few pieces of plastic that roughly resemble a very tiny, narrow ladder. No idea what those are either. Just gonna send it.
Either way. Does anyone know if there is a gasket that goes between the oil pump and the block? New one didn't come with one, and I can't tell if the old pump ever had one.
Also, does anyone know what the hell the tech section is talking about with flipping the "half moon thrust plate" behind the cam sprocket? Have the timing cover off to replace the diamond power (Chinese sh*t) timing set with a Cloyes, would like to flip whatever the hell this is before I throw everything back together.
