New motor being shipped

Well My new engine was shipped out yesterday and should be in Clearwater on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am hoping by the end of the month that we will be back on the road!

Now is the time to have them install a Fomoto or similiar oil drain valve,avoid those stripped threads.

Good idea I just texted the shop manager to look into doing so.

No verdict yet, We won't open it up because of core charges, but we might be able to make a determination without doing so.

The shop probably knows this but don't send the core back until the new engine is installed,have had it happen numerous times,
you don't have the core but need one bracket or fitting.
