I think he said that he put some on it but maybe not enough.

If Ford knowingly drilled into a water jacket, they should have the sealant that it calls for to seal it.

If I recall correctly he has a 1985 351CI. He could even check it out on the 351 forum.

I found out some time ago that our trucks have a splined slip joint in the drive line behind the transmission that clunks because Ford didn't use enough of the special blue lube that is a shock absorber for the drive shaft. I relubed mine but the clunk was in the tranny.

Mine must have the correct lube.. Never heard a clunk

Sure it's not a Ujoint??

The Ujoint is tight and after lubing so is the slip joint. The clunk is inside of the tranny tail shaft. Can roll the drive shaft back and forth and hear it. Been like that ever since I've had it.

That is possible but I've heard the same noise in the big trucks that I've driven. So I've blown it off as not being a problem. Just sounds like a big truck. LOL
