    That's a bad choice in an oil pan gasket. The one piece rubber gasket is the only way to go.

    Yep I agree. But I put so much gasket maker on I think it'll work. Did the same 20 yrs ago. If it leaks ill go 1 piece. Pray for me lol.

    I did my front suspension a few years ago; I had to do the job twice because I did UCArms w/ aftermarket SPC arms and had a knocking noise in the right suspension I couldn't figure out the source. Needless to say, that was not going to work.
    I replaced the aftermarket units w/ OE unit and got rid of that problem immediately.
    I don't ever see me removing those spring again. If I ever considered removal; I would pony-up for coilovers.
    I like and follow ur videos.

    Yep I cant wait. Know what this engine was like in my old truck so I will be able to do a true comparison. The only difference will be is it has a 4 barrel now vs the stock 2barrel I reused when I put this in back in 97. The truck weighed 3800lbs vs about 2550 for the Mav. Gonna be neat for sure!
