Default Two forward ... one back

Assembled the steering, then the clutch/clutch housing/gearbox/transfer case to the engine and put the combination into the chassis. I left the engine 'short' without peripherals, intending to mount these once the engine was in the chassis. All went well until I began tightening the head studs. One stripped the thread out of the block. Bu **er!

Waiting on helicoils to arrive so I can fix the problem. Plenty else to do in the meantime.

Re David Dunlop's post, the front hub seals are soaking in WD40, which seems to be doing the trick. Just in case, I ordered a set of front/rear gaskets from RFJP, made by JMP. The pack is here, but remains unopened while I await the result of the soaking.

No, everything has not gone sideways ... I rotated the image but it still presents ... sideways!

Mike
