If I drop ship it on a common carrier it shouldn't be too bad. A skid spot from Ohio was 175.00 .

Thank you for linking that for me

WOW is right .Either way it's gonna be costly for me thats for sure . But the Stealership wanted $13000. or $10500. not that I was paying that but it probly will be at least half if the blocks shot which it's really looking like
.
I just want to know what happen ? I will know tomorrow . We all will

With the engine on the stand and the oil pan off, I plugged up all the cooling system hoses.
I pressurized the cooling system again and no pressure would build. It was all leaking out of the bottom of the front cover. If I recall correctly it was coming out where the oil pickup tube bolts to it. Anyway as I barred the engine over I started hearing air pressure noises coming out of the cylinders number 2 and 8. I am unable to locate a crack or any decisive reason so I am going to pull the glowplugs and redo it Monday.

The build date might be why I don't have the radiator ATF cooler and you do. I just as soon not have the atf cooler in the rad. Just another place for a leak and you wouldn't even notice it for awhile.

Well so far it's a VERY strange hole in the front cover . There are still concerns about #2 and #8 but I have to put a new front cover and water pump on to test it. So for now this is the culprit.
