ReSeal underway, check out the heavy load on this Ranger.
The Ranger has a heavy load! Pulled the engine out of my 96 Ram 2500 today to reseal it.

If anyone is wondering why I would put the engine in the bed of the truck, I have two shops. One is air conditioned and smaller, the other larger with no A/C. Smaller shop will not accommodate pulling an engine. So I use the truck to move the engine around to the other shop to work in comfort.

Been an interesting week
Well I have had a few interesting conversations and stuff happen this week. I think I am going to be making some interesting changes. More to come on that. But Sunday fun day. Working at the shop today doing 4500 things. Going it ready to do the move.

I have the factory manual and when I try to use it for torque specs, a bunch of what I need for an engine isn't there. Very frustrating!

Blew out the Timing Case Gasket (Compounds)
Timing Case Gasket "Blown Out". This picture is under the P7100 Pump and adjacent to the timing pin. I am beginning to think that maybe running 58 psi of intake manifold pressure is overcoming the Case Dual Valve Cover Breather. I installed a Keating Tappet Cover along with the Case Breather when the new engine was built. While there is barely any oil dripping out the breather tube, I wonder if under WOT I have enough blow by (Total Seal Gapless Rings) to temporality overcome a single breather and raise crankcase pressure to extreme conditions. Does anyone have experience with compounds and a single or dual upper Case set of valve covers? You can see the dual valve cover breather in the photo of the engine.

@Robert Winkworth I'm going to do the oil pan also. Do you rough up the surfaces or put center punch marks in them to help the case sealer to stick around? Anything other than just a good solvent scrubbing?
