Hey guys,

Just as a heads up for now, I have no plans on working on my truck until this semester finishes in late May. But, once I go back to full time work in the summer, I plan on spending the month of June working on a 3RZ conversion into Marlin's 1980 Crawler truck. I want to get his truck ready for Rubithon, the last weekend of June. So I'm not sure if I will have any time to work on my suspension before Rubithon, so I may just go to the con with my truck the same way as it is right now, except I'll try to get some bumpers and nerfbars on first..

So I most likely won't have any real updates here until July or so... and just to let you know, I plan on building a low pressure Supercharge system for my engine. I'm thinking either a Toyota SC14 unit or an eaton blower, and I'll just run a pulley ratio to achieve about 5 psi max with a water/alchol injection system. That's gonna be fun  :disturbed:  :yesnod:

The truck is running really good. I still have some leak from the rear of the engine and I know its not the pan (as I've resealed it) so I'm sure the rear main seal is leaking. One of these days I'll need to pull the drivetrain out and replace that little bugger.

Hey, has anyone had any problems when switching to a full synthetic engine oil in terms of leaks just "occuring" ? I want to run some Schaeffer's syn oil, but I'm worried that the extra cleaning power will turn my slow oil leak into a niagara falls..

Cya
