OK. Cleaning up the thermo and WP surfaces... and will start buttoning things up.

Thank you.
D A M N.

One thing for certain... installing the water pump was a breeze with the motor mount out.

I used a trick I read somewhere upon these pages. Cut off the heads of a few proper size bolts... inserted them into a few holes for the WP and thermo... slid on the gaskets... introduced a couple bolts... removed the guide bolts... and boom.

However... that "boom" still took me another 3 hours and... I did learn a few new cuss words.

Tomorrow I'll tackle the new motor mount.

Just sayin...

G'nite.
