Does anyone have a proper name or, better yet, a part number for the fitting that goes behind the water pump, through the block, that the coolant hose in the valley connects to?

Or are these fittings re-useable?

My new short block did not come with this fitting and I'm trying to round up all the loose ends for the motor assembly.

Thanks,
Herb

You can post pics wherever you like Mike! Congrats on the new block (and the contact, that I assume you finally made). Be sure you link to it once they're up!


I got the little coolant thingy out today too - "It's all in the hips"

That li'l booger was in there tight - those taps had to be a bit forceful! Thank for the tip JJ.

Herb, we in the plant do not reuse them because the often get scared up during installation and could leak.

I was thinking about you today when I was standing next to a whole crate of them.

Peace,


Suavy

Thanks Suavy!

Do you think it would be a bad idea to reuse mine?

I was a bit worried because there seems to be no seal, only a press fit. I would think that any nick or scar could create a leak.

Thanks,
Herb

I was suspecting the same thing and had followed your post on a few boards. Thats why I offered you the extra one that I have. We do not reuse them in the plant.

I can send you the new one I have if you want? e-mail me your mailing address.

Thanks Suavy,

You are quite a guy! Probably better safe than sorry right?

You email address is hidden on this site, so I sent you and email from F150Online. Let me know what I owe you and how to get it to you.

Thanks,
Herb

Sure do, I'm going to take a walk to our staging area and shoot a pic of enough heads for every member on this forum. Heck, think about me!

I have every thing at my finger tips to build me a new engine! Rember last summer I blew one of my heads and look at thousand of set of them daily.

Only it's not worth my 6 figure job.

Most of all God would be disapointed in me!

You are right brother about the disappointment and all. Man thay has got to be a dream job you have. Do you need a helper or a apointment taker or a personal slave?

Dream job? For sure!

Just a little desapointing that I have made several request for company support with no luck. I even offered to trade them the $3,700,000.00 worth of sales that I sponsored on the X-plans.
