Medium thickness paper gasket. Mine was Garlok but you can't get the material anymore.

Re: Oil pump prime?
I made an oil system pressure charger for new engine startup. An old refrigerant container. Filled with the oil charge and pressurized with air. Connect to the oil gallery and fill the engine by running the oil through all the passages and let it drain to the pan. Then crank it up.

Re: Stiff Steering
And I always thought removing the steering wheel was the hard part! You could try offset box wrenches.

23/24 interface
Well, another year has passed with constant driving, moderate maintenance and no restoration. I like this hobby! 2024 will probably end up being the year of the drivetrain replacement. Everything is built and ready for installation from radiator to rear axle assembly. Just gotta do it! Y'all have a ...

Re: Oil Pressure Sender Plumbing
I love to be the one to say this. There are good pictures in the manuals. They may not be in the section you would think, but they will be there. (Nearly every weird detail is in them, you just have to spend time and go through them.)

Re: Rebuilt axles 13 Times !!!!
Axles might not be up to the task. 3rd member is plenty tough. Unless driving style is, well, not good.

Re: NEEDED: Winch worm Gear ?
They've always been expensive. About $800 USD each worm and pinion. MU is heavier duty than the stock LU winch. Finding a used winch with good gears is always the best bet

Re: Normal oil consumption?
Today, my consumption went from acceptable to not. 1QT in 40 miles. First time in ages I was able to run continuously for miles at 40 mph. Puked out the filler tube all over the engine compartment. Blow by has gotten too excessive. The PCV can't even come close to keeping up. I'll finally have to ge...

Re: Front Axle Pinion Bearing
