easy on the RTV goop.. Seen chunks of it in water jackets before from that stuff getting everywhere and moving around inside the motor.. When you tighten down what every your putting on, it sqeezes inside and could become a glob of goo floating around.. I have a tube but never us it..

Alright guys, slapped it all back together and she is holding her fluids. Thank god. I was very careful putting it back together and slowly/evenly tightened up all the bolts until they were snug.

Washed her up too and hopefully by Tuesday afternoon she will be a new truck with all the goodies at Riff Raff.

Thanks for all the help guys. 3000 Miles to go on this big voyage!
