Black Magnum 2.0 assembly

Back off? No. Just tightened.

When you re-torque fasteners, you need to back them off slightly. It takes more torque to break "free" a fastener that was torqued previously.

Plus, did you torque cycle the studs? The reason you torque cycle the studs is to give them the proper stretch.

Just tighten. Didn't know about that.

 

[Magnum PD]

Got oil drained, pan off, flipped motor and from what I can tell things good.

 

[Magnum PD]

Trying to decide if I should use the Grey RTV sealant AND the moroso gasket together. Gasket has expanded from heat some so, that is a minus

Got the DT444e rez off the Gen 3 to get powered coated (cough) Jake (cough) along with the fuel regulator holder that I fabbed up, and the valve clovers. Gonna tell them to use a gloss black.

Is there anything else I should do before I put the oil pan back on for the last time?

do yourself a favor and use gray death on the pan... not just gray rtv and the gasket that has already deformed..

Yeah I got the grey "death" sealant and did the dipstick tube adapter the first go around.

I did check the torque on the main caps that I could get to along with the connecting rod bolts.

 

[Magnum PD]

Went ahead and sent my valve covers, the doghouse ccv, regulator mount, and the Gen 3 Rez off to be powered coated gloss black.

I would make sure the dipstick orings are vitons, but I wouoldnt slime them with sealant.

That is a sexy girdle.

it looks like all the rest, did I miss a detail?

 

[Magnum PD]

Notice how shiny it is. Lot of detail went into that.

 

[MeTo]

Yes, the conversation I had with my wife concerning girdles after seeing the pic and before posting a silly comment.

It is a thing of beauty.

But not something that will guarantee your block will stay together if you have it.

My powercoating parts came out sexy though.

Yea when used along side concrete it helps hold 7.3s together. Guys waaaaay smarter than myself say 8-900 is the threshold where a bedplate becomes necessary.
