Since I have no core support on the front of the truck right now, I figured it would be a good time to kill the dowel pin.



The pin was only about an eight inch from bottoming out and it was tight. My guess is it had not moved.

The scary part was that one of the case bolts (inside the case) was finger loose. This could have dropped out just as easily as a loose dowel pin. After cleaning the holes, I retorqued them with red locktite.

Now when I get my seal, I will button it back up. By the way, it was the most expensive seal I have ever been quoted.

 

now you have to do 4 more your other 2 and my 2

 

good thing you caught those bolts my buddy had the bolt next to the kdp fall out and knock a hole in the timing case and go between the gears. ground the bolt in half, luckly it didnt hurt the gears... but too close for me

 

very nice ya thread lock as much as you can.

 

Got the timing case back on. I couldn't resist the hemi orange.

 

your such a FREAK

Made some videos on fixing his after the pin came out and stove things up. He also had a cover bolt come out and do some chewing. The video is pretty good. He has 4 parts to the video and it is over a half hour all together.
