My mentor shakes his finger at me and tells me "don't get rammy"!
Seems he thinks I have a tendancy to get "rammy" (pronounced ram e ), or let my emotions control my actions, get excited or upset and then get "rammy". I get the feeling you maybe get that way sometimes. Be cool, be careful, stop and take a deep breath. You are a really bright guy. Let your intelligence guide your actions. Don't get rammy. Regards, Gramps

It got a little quieter with the windage tray clearenced properly of course. I don't see how it spun a rod of course having checked the bearing tolerances and the engine hasn't seen over 1500rpm yet. It could be anything at this point. We will all soon find out.

well think of it this way, if we ever have a "See who can pull their motor the fastest" Contest, u'll smoke all of us, but really that sucks ***, but it will get better, it has to, sooner or later there won't be anything else on it that'll tear up and u'll be good to go

LOL at Jim thanks for the advice
White1 yeah I think I probably have the record drop it in one day pull it out the next pretty much. Parish has had his motor in and out more times than I ahve though so I ahve some catching up to do
Oh and Jim just the motor comes out its a hell of alot easier especially since Im 4wd. You gotta make sure when you put the motor in that the converter is fully seated and take it easy and get it lined up perfect with the bellhousing thats all.

I think it was fully seated, just all the bumping and banging around (I forgot the vise grips
) it came out of that last "click"Got a two for one though. Screwed the TC and tranny pump.
