No problem.I’ll post it for everyone.

Today I ordered a set of tan seat covers for my 96 gmc truck with the 6.2.I also have a center console on the way with cup holders.I threw out the original tan Center console many years ago as it was in pretty rough shape so I tossed it.Both items are coming from Amazon.

I always liked using the stanadyne performance or lubricity additive.

It’s also very easy to break the face cam on the throttle linkage.If the pinch bolt is overtightened it can break the face cam.

The standard volume pump is more than adequate for the 6.2.

I’d just buy a new pump with screen.The 6.2 never did use a high volume pump.Only the 506 6.5 diesel which had the oil cooling jets above the main bearings.

I’ve used both types of bolts.Never had an issue with either.Normally no additional sealer is needed.Its already preapplied when you buy them.

Today a few more parts arrived for this project such as a new flexplate/converter cover,2” intake spacer with felpro gasket. Not long ago I purchased a new cluster lense and printed circuit as what I have is in terrible shape.Some of the bulbs don’t make good connection and it’s just plain worn...

I’ve used both types.Never had a problem with either.

New valves are best but you’d still need to get the seats reground to match the angle of the new valves.

I’d use the green plastigauge and see if you have .002” clearance.

Today I did get the coolant filter and housing mounted to the inner fender.I realize it’s overkill but I’d like to give it a go.I have some brass Y fittings on the way from amazon to make the installation that much easier.I figured a petcock would be useful to expel any air if it gets trapped...

I always just poured some sort of household cleaner into the ports.If nothing runs out the seal is okay.The valves should not leak.You could make a test plate if you wanted and induce air into the port.Either way will work out perfect.

Those are the proper tools to install the seals👍 I find engine assembly lube makes it much easier to install the shaft into the pump once the seals are on it.
