    Yeah, that's what it took. Tracked down some allen head bolts. Exactly what this called for.

    '88 TBI Build

    SO I'm getting angry. My 350 build has been anything but productive. It gets the backburner, both with my free time and financials. But since the '80s big block is almost due for spontaneous rapid disassembly, I'm trying to get this motor off the stand and running in the Jimmy as soon as I can...

    @Raider L @PrairieDrifter UPDATE It's been a while, forgot about this thread. Not sure if you guys saw my posts a bit ago in "What have you done to your square lately?" but I put my AC delete process photos there. I'll reattach them here just for the convenience/future reference. Ended up...

    Surprisingly high for the time of yeah. high 40s low 50s. Not to mention i check my freezepoint pretty religiously. Don't know why. All good there. Guess it was just the gasket's time.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Was welding a structural patch on the S10 rear leaf spring hanger, then i noticed that the 80 was leaking coolant for no reason all of the sudden. Been parked up for a couple months now to avoid the road salt cancer. Removed the cover and popped the hood, water neck gasket decided to fail. So...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yeah, not to mention it's hard to trust anyone like that. You'd think they SHOULD be able to tell you what you need, but are probably peddling you crap 90% of the time. I don't know, just how i feel. I'm glad you got it figured out. Quite the annoying thing to have your truck down for, mine was...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had the same issue when i replaced my rad with that same cold case. I ended up shaping the hose over a bottle for like a week to shape it a little wider. Applied alot of lube, jammed her on and tightened her up. Haven't had an issue yet. Been about a year and a half.

    '88 TBI Build

    Holy cow, Texas. I'm a bit jealous, not gonna lie. Sounds like you're in the right line of work. We'll have to B.S. sometime for sure man. I got a roller timing set for my block (listed below) and a heavy duty Cloyes timing cover (also listed below) with the cam button built in, with...

    '88 TBI Build

    I'll just recap for ya. So far i've already got practically everything. i was doing a test fit, got the new roller cam in it, put some lifters in, a head and rocker arm. Found that i'll need a shorter pushrod. Then i started looking at the timing set. I'll need smaller cam bolts because they...

    it wouldn't hurt the block or sprocket to run without?

    Would you double up? Or is it a one or the other sort of thing?

    '88 TBI Build

    yes, i have a Summit stage 1 roller cam. I heard my piece on the bearing, but was told that the setup would need a cam button. Got the timing cover with one built in but the button is a hair too big. Not only am i to get a smaller one, but i've heard the steel vs nylon debate. And then came...

    Alrighty. Still learning, bear with me. Had to get a new timing set due to roller swap. Took the old one off, there was no thrust bearing/plate. Is this unnecessary due to cam button?

    6.7 Cummins Suburban Build

    Holy hell dude. This is dang impressive in countless manners. For me, to work on the "sister" ISB6.7 in the Freightliner M2s and some Internationals all day and see someone put a 6.7 in a Square is quite the feat. Seeing all the hurtles, craftsmanship and brainpower going into this project makes...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks Rick. And yeah, my dad (the mastermind behind dozens of motor builds) is holding my hand on this one. Wouldn't want it any other way.
