Re: Frankentruck

So some great news happened today. My phone was able to charge and work enough that I can call and text again. There's still some water in it because it likes to do some things on its own, but I think it will work after it completely dries out. The best part is that I didn't lose any of the pictures that I didn't have saved on my laptop, so here's the pics of trying to track down some leaks.

After I found out the front seal was leaking, I swapped from the newer pan to the older one. The new pan was an aftermarket one, so it had the thicker front seal. I did not know that was a thing until it started leaking because I originally used a thin front seal.

I decided to use the old pan and just clean it up, because I was already using the old timing cover, and I could get a new seal for it within a day instead of having to wait a couple of days.
