    My middle bearing was extra thrashed, I wonder if there's a pattern.

    I wish I had that tractor. It's the neighbor's, and he said it should be able to lift ~1500lbs. with the forks. I think the fully dressed iron-block LS weighs like 535lbs?

    I got friends in low places.

    I do want a boat. Luckily, though, the machinist said this block was in great shape. He said he's always impressed by how well old LS engines look after being cleaned up. Also, he said they nailed whatever the LS bearings are made from. Mine had 154k, and he said they looked fine, and still...

    It's the 204lb. iron block. I wish it was aluminum, lol.

    That's the basement. I had realized the engine stand almost reached the stand plate when it was bolted to the block, so I mounted that, and made a little ramp rod the stand wheels. The block tilted and slid right out of the back of the car. The only heavy lifting was getting the stand wheels...

    I need to do that, but other projects keep superceding.

    Well, that went way faster than I thought it would.

    Yay. Machinist said the main and rod bearings were so good he would have felt bad selling me new ones. Middle cam bearings was trashed, so it was good I did more than just a head job. The heads needed a valve job badly, and he had to spend extra time cleaning the intake ports, so he committed...

    Replaced two of the three power steering hoses: high & low pressure that connect to the rack. The third hose was supposed to arrive today, but Scamazon lied to me about Prime delivery. Either way I needed to replace whatever I could, as I was losing fluid at the cyclic rate. Fingers crossed I...

    @Doubeleive When you say "squirts out" do you mean at the connection point for the high-pressure hose, or out the ends of the rack?

    I'll see if I can get a helper to turn the wheel while I'm looking closely at the rack... w/safety squints engaged. To be honest, there was always some sort of seep/small leak, but I never took it seriously. There was always something else more important leaking. It passed inspection last...

    Just discovered a hi-flow power-steering leak.... like all of it within a day. So I ordered up those three hoses and seals. The cooler looks dry & fine at the core and hardlines, but at the pump and rack there is so much muck and wet schmutz that I'm really not sure where the leak is... so...

    There's UV sealant you need to apply.
