Got the cluster from another forum member, sorry the name slipped my memory. Yes I did torque everything to the proper specs. I just hope everything else on the rotating assembly is OK. Flushed rockers and valley with degreaser and re primed with oil. will change oil again this weekend.
I was curious, ball park me what it would cost to have it done, how many hours does the book say?

alldata shows 3.4 hrs +.2 for a/c option..

lol...this "welcome" thread has turned into a build thread. perhaps a MOD would move it for 10-78.

I don't have power in this forum but I just sent a request for its move to the build section!

is there a "to keep it on the road" section

My intake job I was charged 3.2 hours.. I have A/C as well. The intake also was pitted/corroded a bit evidently in a couple spots. Tech had to add a little bit of epoxy after cleaning it up.. something I wouldn't have known that needed to be done if doing the job myself. The Fel Pro gasket set I was charged $101 for. I haven't checked to see what it cost to buy myself. Then a new T-stat, coolant, 4.5 qts of Amsoil.. plus while the job was being done I ran and grabbed a new serpentine belt as well as a new Delphi cap & rotor. The job wasn't a real cheap ordeal.

It's time
 

Any one need a nice 98 four door?

The truck has been sitting for 8 months, thew a new battery in it a took it for a spin.
I really got to let this one go.
Anybody want a 4 door 98?
It comes with a spare front clip, a spare freshly rebuilt trans, spare transfer case, new body flare kit (NOS still in box), and a "Blazerforum" tailgate sticker.
