This took longer than a day but I had "help" from Mother Nature

Anyone who saw my truck at GotG knew I was catching up with a "parking lot" water pump change and leak...chased it through a few quickie attempts until Sunday I took everything off the front of the motor, then the rain started falling hard and drove me inside. I cleaned, prepped and spray painted everything (not show quality, just better and lighter without the crud) and suffered through primer up my sinuses

as well as nothing drying under the humidity then when it stopped raining I cleaned, prepped and sprayed the front of the block before reassembling everything on Tuesday.

No leaks finally and I identified my next project--the balancer needs to properly removed and reinstalled. Also discovered the replacement radiator I have to go in, has been a 4-row all along. Maybe I shouldn't do things to the truck anymore, I keep finding more things to do!!!
