Daily WTF?

Real trucks have Detroits, White, Cummins or Cat power.

I agree, I got grandfathered in for CDL class A in 1990. Been driven trucks for a mile or 2.

That's what you need for a daily driver to haul the big gals around.

I'll stick to my pos, brake booster, 390k mile, sbc 1/2 ton truck. .

All these Rabbit holes we go down are interesting and fun. We get to learn about other’s interests and philosophies.

I lied.
I got my chauffer license in 88' when working for a furniture company, then went to work for a trucking company in 90' and then got grandfathered in in 93' when cdl came out.
Sometimes I forget how freaking old I really am,

405 is an Oklahoma area code. Great marketing for their tourist department.

Crankshaft endplay might cause issues with side cover seals.

I like to use the Dorman exhaust manifold stud kit from the local parts store for side covers on small blocks. The small blocks need M8/1.25 studs. To put the TC back plate on I used washers behind the backplate and yes I had to cut the ends of the studs off flush with the nuts to use the backplate.

That is as fine of workmanship as I have ever seen!

Might even be as good as this:

I knew you guys at Frank & Stein Motor Werks only produce the highest quality work, using zip ties and rust.

 

[Sandmanbjj]

I feel like this is plainly obvious.
that's all I got. I wanted to sound like I had something cool to contribute and well... that was it.

Only the finest materials and workmanship.

You recommend those stainless zip ties from HF? or just the HD nylon ones?

Cheapest black plastic zip ties you can find, of course.

...At which point the crankcase side cover decided to part company with the crankcase. Bolts were sheared off and some were just backed way out...

Did you do a proper autopsy?

The backed-out bolts may have taken threads with them which is mechanical separation or in the same vein as being sheared off. If that is not the case, they could have worked themselves out (unscrewed) gradually due to the vibrations and oscillations and then the rest of them went boom with the overpressure.

Instinctively, to me, this was an engine explosion before I saw post number 13 (unlucky #13) . All engines are air pumps and we dismiss this truth to our own peril. This was neat to read, thanks for sharing!
