Ok so 10 days after I've received the new Banjo bolt ( freaking hard to find ) with washers.
On Nov 2nd I bought this stuff to redo the threads .

The old bolts .

If any of you need some , here's where to buy them :

I'll try the new bolts this week end.
My car is officially in storage so I have started taking stuff apart .
I'm getting ready to pull the motor out.

Exhaust is out.

To remove the slave cylinder can I just remove the 2 bolts ?
Is it the right way to do it ?

Its always a good idea just for your reassurance so you dont blow all that cash on that expensive msd opti and have it fail on you whenever it desides to let go when you couldve just made sure before you put it on. Cant wait for it to go in so we can see/hear it when its all said and done. Got that cam in the mail last week and just waiting for a couple more things to have it all put back together and ready for next spring!

I may run into a fan issue with the new Electric Waterpump :

I can cut the fan casing but not sure if I can remove enough to clear the new pump.
I was already touching the fan protective housing with the CSR.

My LT1 is in a Mazda RX-7 and I'm using a Ford Taurus V6 fan .
I may not have the same room as you do.
We'll see if I have enough space with the shroud cut if not I'll be using a different setup of fan lile Spal or something like that.

My csr smelled horrible, brought up memories from the Marines. We had a plane ditch in the saltwater, so they brought the electronics in for me to work on. I opened the covers and black tar rolled out.

Next motor will go in without harmonic balancer and water pump so I'll have more room and I also found out when the driveshaft is out and you tilt the motor the transmission will empty itself on your clean garage floor......![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)

In your pics you measure from the front of the mounting plate to tip...the 118 would be 2 7/8" measured that way

Slowly working on my project still.
Here's where I'm at right now.
Intake is sealed and torqued , Pro-Billet MSD Optispark with coil and wires done , valve cover tighted with new gaskets.
Headers and water pump are there just for test fit.
Cylinder # 7 won't get the stage 8 lock because it is too tight.

Steam tube ( pipe ) are ok with the new bolts and washers.
I was affraid to have problem with the almost stripped threads I had on the left head but I fixed it with somekind of "JB Weld" paste sold espacially for that type of repair.
