Also ordered a Tick quick bleed line for the clutch, no more pumping the clutch when it's cold or having to do the ranger method!

It will help a little but a better clutch is the fix.

I wish I could upgrade but my wife and bank accounts would kill me and I'm trying not to use any credit cards on this build.

I know a lot to do with my clutch "issue" I was experiencing only when it was cold at times with dirty fluid was the hydraulics.

Honestly we still don't have a definit answer just opinions.
-water in bolt hole (which I sucked out), previous stress and just my luck, block had a previous problem I had to idea about from previous owner modding it, etc.

Just be careful and check all holes like I did and many do, run a thread chaser before putting new bolts or studs in and don't worry about it.

I dropped the block and everything else needed to assemble the long block a couple weeks ago, the machine shop has the block and internals and should be done any day now.

Cam should be ordered any day now also and hope to have the long block assembled and back to me soon.
