Well, we’re not quite there yet or definitely steps closer. Quick progress video.

Ok finally said enough dicking around, bearings have been here for 3 weeks, hunting or not this needs to be done. Sunday night drained tcase and tranny Removed front and rear driveshaft -I can’t believe it but even with 340k these u joints are fine including the cv on the front Monday night Supported tranny with atv jack and blocks of wood/ratchet straps Removed tcase and cross member Tuesday night Pulled granny and got it out. Checked primary shaft end play while cold -5 thou Split the cases Check out the bearings, they are done. I am sooo glad I did this. All gears look good so far

Well I take a couple days off last week. Needed to clear my mind. But I did get some work on the shop. It’s starting to look like something now. Finally.

I am so busy with moving / packaging Building heads and engines. Learning the new machine. Oh ya and trying to finish the shop at the same time lol. Good times

I am unsure if I can reuse my rocker arms but they are not cheap these days so I was hoping someone could chime in and tell me if these need to be replaced, need to go to a machine shop if I can find one that knows what they are doing, or if they looks good to go. They feel smooth and slide on and off no problem. This is my first rebuild on this project 96 12 valve. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
