I don’t think the inhabitants were happy about my buying Bloo

That was behind the flywheel,,,

And someone has been here before. There are a couple of odd bolts on the Rear mainseal cover,,, and as you can see, that looks GREAT. Still gonna replace it since I am in here. Same thing with the near perfect Friction plate on the clutch. Definitely on the throwout bearing and slave cylinder,,, (the slave and throw out looked OE. And the throw out was noisy off n on.) All of it!!!! NEW,, I’m there, Do IT! You can kinda see in the pic, the manifold is already done,, The old one was cracked 90% of its diameter between 5 and 7. Didnt come apart on removal. But I could flex it and open up that crack by hand.

Oil pan is off, but I took one look at the caps and splash plate and oil pump sump, and said “Call it!” 8 straight hours,,, I’m a little whooped right now, needed to eat something, and Of course, the Kidz at home were yowling about my negligence,,,, Cosmos not so much as he hung out at Da’s all day, playing with his girlfriend and keeping me company when I went out to chill off. No fire in the box, but its plenty warm in there.

Tomorrow I find out how bad it is. I could have tonight, but Figured, if I know, I’ll have a hard time sleepin’ tossin’ and frettin’ over it. I can sleep soundly tonight, knowing how close I am to finding out. Prayin’ that catching it early alleviates the worst possibles. Lots of ‘glitter’ in the bottom of the pan, but no chunks,,,

Tomorrow the real work begins.
