My android lets me throw pictures on to picasa. Then I get on there, get the embed link, and use it.

 

Only in the corners where the intake gaskets meet the gaskets that run across the ends on the block. Nothing else should need it. If you are a tad paranoid, use a THIN coat around the water passages.

 

Thanks for the advice. I got all the gaskets replaced and the manifold back on. Now all I have to do is finish getting the exhaust manifolds off, and get a broken stud out. Then I can bolt up the tranny and get it in the truck. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

 

More important than using rtv is to be very careful to keep good gasket alignment during intake install. It is VERY easy to bump the rear gasket out of place when putting the keg on. If everything is properly aligned it shouldn't leak. (assuming you use quality gaskets)

 

Any updates????

 

So i was sick on sunday and monday so i didnt get much done. Here are some pics and status update.





Just waiting on a motor!!!!!



ohhh wait there it is......



I went ahead and replaced all the intake manifold gaskets.

So I now have a couple of problems. One of the exhaust manifold bolts snapped on me. And I found that the previous owner of this motor snapped off 2 tranny bolts in the block. So once i get a easy out ill be pulling those out and bolting the tranny up.

Earlier someone said i had to use the '94 flexplate and torque converter, but i compared the two together and the look identical, except for some holes drilled in one that looks like it was for balancing.

2001 Flexplate


1994 Flexplate



And i believe this to be a knock sensor, correct me if im wrong. If it is a knock sensor did the 94 come equipped with one? cause i cant seem to find the plug that fits it.

 

Use the plate that came off your motor, if you are bolting it to the same trans.

That sensor beside the dist is the oil pressure sensor. 2nd gen's never had a knock sensor. (more's the pity.....) Connector should be in the main harness that passes thru back there.

 

well the motor is a 2001 and the tranny is a 1994. So ill just swap them to be sure. I didnt locate a plug there that fits the oil pressure sensor. I guess i will have to check my harness routing.

I got a second 360 out of the deal i got with the truck with all new bearings, seals, crank, and harmonic balancer. I am thinking of having it rebuilt to put in my quadcab. The Crank on it snapped in half. The rods seem to be fine but i dont know whether i should trust them or not. What do yall think? New pistons and rods to be safe or reuse them? the truck was still running and driving with the broke crank....lol at least 20 miles.

 

Bet that made some neat noises.......

Have the rods checked by a machine shop. They will be able to tell you if it is safe to reuse them. Or, if necessary, they can do some work to 'em to get 'em back into shape.

 

sounded like a really bad rod knock...lol.
