But it could if you worked on it! LOL I just want you to start driving to some shows and such. They are just a burden when they are in a million parts.

Jerry, you would not believe all the crap I get out of slant six shafts. But I know you small block guys take better care of your stuff!

American Powertrain told me I need at least .100 clearance to the bearing.

Killer why do you think the 2 numbers are different? Since there was a different gasket, do you think one was cut?
