- Geoff Weeks Thank you for the explanation and drawing deffinetly very very helpful - Thank you vladislav i will continue on my search and reserach on the thermostat. I got the b43 from the chassis number. Also called the guy who I bought it from he confessed and told me that it was a b43. Sadly most of the idetifying plates of the truck is gone. I will se what is what as i progress true the restoration. - doubleclutchinweasel Thanks for the info lets hope I have the overdrive gears since i will be driving on highways alot and need to drive it from my work to back home which is about 50 miles there 50 miles back (80km there 80km back)

Some years ago i was big in pirating pix and making a animation of the pix so here B OLD MARVELOUS MACK for your viewing pleasure cya

I do believe those are what im after.

I think I have a plan. Remove the inner sleeve.and then shorten the length to make it just like the 673. I think it will work out fine. The wear spot from the seal will be inside past the seal because shortening the sleeve length will move the seal outward toward the flange. Looks doable. Luckily I know a guy at a machine shop....😉

Are the 443 seals what you need, BH ?

Thank you Joey! @Freightrain I've been following along. This is a great thread. Thanks for keeping the posts coming!

Ya, if I have any money left I might be able to afford to drive it.......🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did sell the +.002 liners to friend that loaned me puller. He will have use for them. Didn't recoup all but better then nothing. Garage is definitely getting cleaner! Might be able to start maintenance on race car??

Yes, i did not find a set like yours in my box o stuff. What i posted is E-7 and E-Tech seals.. I think the 443 seals is what B.H. needs.. I just posted both to show the difference. Your doing great on this engine...

No worries. My score today from the "wallet draining store"..... .500 valve stem seals.....oh, sorry valve wipers...🤦. You can see the distinct size difference between these and yours JM. Worthless Vulva part number. (Note date on sticker...2017) $40 drain plug and copper gasket. I also got the proper seal, installed it and can STILL TURN THE CRANK!!!😲 Only $300 for all.....🙄 Life is good.....🤨

Freighttrain... I hope you dont mind if I Hijack a page or 2 on this thread? Im trying to help Bottlehauler.

I hope you can read these..
