Are you soddering the pipes together? If you are try putting balled up bread in the lines and push them in about an inch to soak up any water in the lines. It wont hurt anything, the bread will disinigrate quickly. I have all the PEX tools if you want to go that way. That is all I will ever do again after plumbing Nicole's bathroom. It is so easy.
I did the bread trick. Still had a couple bad leaks on the unions. Maple Grove does not allow PEX. At least not installed by the home owner.

LOL

I think I did. One union (new) was still seeping a bit for a while but all seems dry now (keeping fingers crossed).

Good morning everyone. I am really stoked to go sledding. Not looking forward to the 5 hour drive but still...

I was thinking we could put it in my work truck which has no compression on #2. A 460 would be a welcome change from the 3.7 V6.

Well, maybe we can work a deal on a barely broken in (200,000 mile) 351W EFI.

Roller block?

I think a certain Mustang is going to need a block after the poor 302 gets the Novi2k...

Cool! Hopefully no more leaks!

The 5 hour drive up will go fast but that drive home will suck!

Nah, a big block would be fun though.

I am somewhat concerned about how long the shortblock is going to live with the blower on it.

1993.5 and up are roller blocks.

Sometimes you gotta blow stuff up to see if the math was correct.
