2930 - Need some muscle this Saturday or Sunday

Any updates?

You and Doug meet up?

I didn't go to Freeside today….. I wasn't feeling well.

Back at it tomorrow….I'm waiting on the bolts before I put the engine/transmission back together. I'll finish putting in the fuel system tomorrow, and finish up the brakes I hope.

Should I preemptively buy a new fuel accumulator, or is there some slight chance that the one there is not bad? Is there a test I can do?

I hate to say it but "you might as well" replace it.it's already out.

That's a method I've known about but never done. I've had plenty of success with flushing the filter with carb cleaner.

How do you flush it? Just soak it or spray it?

Yes. if you have access to a vat of carb cleaner, napa will sell you a 5-gallon bucket of it, you can dips and soak. Done this with CV joints too, makes for an easy clean. Mostly though I just use about a good quarter to half a can of carb cleaner to flush I out.

Okay, it's been thoroughly cleaned. I got my new gasket as well. Engine and Transmission will be mated tomorrow, then I'll reinstall the filter and drain plugs, and fill them both up with oil.

After that, it's time to put the engine and transmission back in the frame.

Finally, some progress!
