You can never have too much lube but running out is always bad.

I haven't had great luck with that great stuff rtv. I go to nissan and get the factory grey stuff or the toyota black. The new Nissan stuff comes in a tube that fits in a caulk gun.

The mechanic that is doing the final assembly told me to get it. I never heard of it before. I'll ask if he is certain seeing as I do not want leaks.

Thanks

I'm sorry if I missed something, but I thought the mechanic was going to be working on it for the next two or three weekends to finish installing the motor? Something happen? Please say "no"....I think I'm one of many on my350z that is pulling for you big time for your build to be complete.

It was over 2-3 weekends supposed to start 10/15. Now due to my Wife needing an operation 10/3 I hope to start 11/5 but an waiting to hear back from the mechanic. I found out Friday the insurance refused to pay so we have to.

Aw man, so sorry to hear that dude. Thoughts and prayers for a smooth operation for the wifey.

Can't stand insurance companies man, such scammers (most of them).
