So far so Good> Those 53 blocks ae saveable if not already cracked, (And if they are, I've heard of luck with a product called "Irontite.") Sammy @ V-Belt and Son has the fix on one of his videos, I believe just cutting off 3 out of 6 or 9 blades in the water pump to reduce flow pressure, don't quote me please. I'm big on oven cleaner for engines and engine bays for cleaning grease and grime, stronger, deeper clean. But, with the dogs there, I'm guessing your options are limited. Well, I'm just gonna watch video two right now! Nice work.
Thank you so much for watching...the block was already cracked when I bought the truck and resale value is a lot more if it's not a 53 block watch part 3 I have the new engine all buttoned up!
