[QUOTE="Soap, post: 16096622, member: 2094"] Some help... 1. AN fittings do not use any seal. The tapered seat seals itself. 3. Thin coat of Copper RTV will work. 4. I doubt you will have issues without a caged lower with the 2.3. Not sure what pulley combo you plan to use but a typical upper/lower combo will not have belt slip issues if the rest of your components are in place. 7. I'd call the manufacturer and ask them their thoughts based on their experience. I've never heard of too much oil pressure though. Just use a good filter. 8. A catch can and a vent do the same thing, they passively allow the pressure to be removed, pick whichever you like. 9. If you have concerns about what to use I'd just take them do a head shop and have them clean them. Then you don't have to mess with the DIY hot tank, or disposing of the chemicals after etc. 10A. If you really want a new one you are going to have to start looking at junk yards or people parting out cars online. 10B. If I were you I'd try and find another stock block to use. 30 over is pushing the limits. You might get into cooling issues, especially that you keep saying this is your DD. 11. Not sure how good it is, but I threw mine in the garbage and used an OEM Ford pilot bearing when I did my clutch. --Joe [/QUOTE]
