Hes doing a great deal of work as well as research, I assure you. At least a solid 35-40%.

Now that he’s on here, I can tag him. I wouldn’t be able to do it without his help. It helps that he has all the necessary tools and a big shop to use haha

Good to be here. Probably be pretty useful to be on here for the future too.
Here's another random picture of what's going in the Hoe, minus the trans parking brake, that's just there to keep fluid from draining all over.

That's the plan. The one that came in the RV, if that's what you mean. The can on that one has an extra return line, I believe.

Well, got time to take the oil pan off. Had mixed emotions about the sludge at the bottom until Iooked up at the crank and saw it was immaculate inside the engine. We had a little bit of what seemed like water, but may have been separated oil from sitting for so long. Definitely going to prime the block with my drill to flush it out and get things lubed up. Going to be slow progress over the next week or so since we got delayed on the dang engine mounts.

That sludge looks serious! But that crank and caps look great--like you said. Just for the hell of, check any of the bearings for wear?

I haven't, but that's not a bad idea. I'll definitely do that before the pan goes back on.
