............and while you are looking at the flex plate, turn that 24mm bolt again, mine had many of the same symptoms as yours including good oil pressure, but when I was able to move the bolt back and forth without the flex plate moving.......supposed to be a solid piece of steel in the middle!

I think the line size is different, but the block holes are both 1/2 NPT. Someone please jump in if I am wrong!

FYI if you choose to do the Summit parts route, you will need plenty of wire ties and clamps to keep the braided hoses from rubbing on everything!:idea:

Summit p/n Cooler BMM 70266 = direct replacement ( screw holes and everything) with 1/2 NPT instead of o-ring SUM230810 = 10 ft -8N stainless braided SUM 220890 = -8N swivel ends ( reusable) SUM 220847 = -8N to 1/2 NPT adapter I used the straight -8N to NPT adapters and then used...

Go to Summit Racing, B&M makes a direct replacement cooler with NPT threads. I used -8N fittings and stainless braided hose from them that mirrors the Lubespecialists kit and the whole thing was about $170.00 I may still have the invoice with all of the part numbers, I will look tonight.

We were able to get it to -1.41 by snugging the nuts tight and bumping the turning tool. I notice no difference in starting or driving from the -2.20 it was set at. ( only drove it home) I totally respect Bill Heath's recommendation of -1.94 but I wonder if you need a dyno to see the...

When I installed the new engine, I aligned the pump to the same reference mark as the old engine. It started and has run great for 1600 miles now. I finally got it to a GM Tech ( who does side work) that knows diesels and has access to the GM Scan Tech. I asked him to get it as close to -1.50 as...

The SS (stainless steel braided line) came from Summit Racing also.

The stock cooler uses straight threads with an o-ring seal. I bought a B&M with 1/2 inch pipe, 10 ft SS braided line, -8N fittings ( 2-45* and 2-90*) for about $170 from Summit Racing, did the trick and the cooler bolts using the same mounting holes.

Yea Slim, but was your walk to school uphill both ways like mine was):h):h Nothing but love here:puke:

Gentlemen I was slightly flamed by my statement to buy "new", I am also a man of experience when it come to engine building. I spent 15 years building Cat, Mack, Cummins and Detroit engines. I also played in the BB SB Chevy drag wars and even wrenched on a top fuel car.I completely agree with...

Do the math. Add the time money and risk associated with used weak parts. The GEP longblock starts adding up at $5,750...... sad but true. Just my opinion!

She is definitely a woman........costs me time, heartache, and lots of money but I still love her!

Back in May I was driving to work, about 30 miles into the trip I turn from a 2 lane down a slight ramp and merge onto a 4 lane perfectly flat road. The engine starts getting loud, no knocks, just loud like the exhaust was falling off, checked all gauges Ok, then 1/4 mile later it shutters and...
