Your just jealous that at WOT my oil temp sensor pegged itself all the time!! Who doesn't need a gauge that tells you your engine is melting everytime you go past 1/2 throttle!
Well I'm not going back to his shop anymore, I have one of my own now!!

Who meeeeeee????? Actually if anybody did it, it sure as hell it was me but I must of done it at your place because I was pretty careful today. Those days of breaking bolts are over!!! Speaking of which, is this a good time to mention that when I was assembling my brakes a couple weeks ago I broke 5 grade 10.9 ARP bolts because I thought they said to tighten them to 150ft/lbs and not in actuality 150 in/lbs...


Nahhhh I'll keep that story for another time!!

Pulled it off and re'used the gasket, hope it's the right one...
You need a gasket that has two individual holes for the oil cooler, its different than the one you have.

There are two ground wires for the starter...haven't figured out which one goes where yet but I'm sure once I look at it I'll figure it out, but not sure where the clip goes...



Any suggestions?
ill put money on that the plug goes to the oil pan its a low oil light switch there should be a plug right under neath the starter as far as the other two the small one goes on the starter solenoid and so doesnt the big one look at the starter its self explains were the two goes ooh BTW your going to have to take the starter back out to get those two wires on

I don't know how much more abuse that bolt hole can take before she's completely stripped out!

I knew I was gonna have to pull that starter back off to do it but was excited to get the fugger on!! Ok so I'll take a look at the back and see about connecting both of those up. I'll look around the (engine?) oil pan for a small clip to go to.

Yep you have the wrong one. Like stated above two holes. I have one in the shop if you want to swing by and pick it up!

I would drop it by but your hot neighbors would probably fall in love, and I'm not into the long distance thing.... So I'm gonna have to pass. Sorry bro.

Feel free to keep breaking stuff though. It makes e feel better about all the retarded stuff that has happened in my build.
