TRUE.  Not required with the new nylon chain guide.
Nice work by the way, envious of the shop! Keep us posted.

Studied the realoem diagrams and briefly tried to match the washer up to the timing case diagrams and I am still unsure where this piece came from. I do however have the updated guide rail to install so i guess no worries.

Water pump block off:





That was V2. This is the first one I made, I didn't like how the top turned out. If anyone wants it let me know pay shipping and its yours.

Didn't end up having much time to work on the engine today. Got the New oil pump rotor installed, upated oil pressure control valve, new seals for crank.

Getting closer! Ran into a couple slowdowns so didn't make my goal of getting this thing put together today. Had to retap for an oil pan bolt. Then I spent a good 45min looking for the chain tensioner cap..I put in one of those easy to find places.. Anyway here are some pics!

Ha! Seriously. "OK, I'll just put this here, it's a pretty obvious place. I bet I'll totally forget that I put it here, but I'll only be a minute..."

Exactly! Best part is I had two of them! Never did find the other one. I found it placed in a nice zip lock bag with a bit of oil with the old tensioner nicely placed behind a bunch of junk on one of my shelves. I imagine when I placed it there originally it didn't have a bunch of junk in front of it though!

So, bounce some ideas off you guys. I am not running heat (my heater core was shot and didn't feel like paying to replace it) so I would like to delete the entire "mess under the intake." I also hate the design of the plastic pipe that feeds the mess. I have a couple directions I could go.
From this:


This would be my goal, fab a new block off pipe out of aluminum:


Or is the overflow hose #4 in the diagram a necessity for proper flow? ..In that case I could fab a pipe to do this:
