Yes...that is true. Intake gaskets and knock sensors are common problems.
Also, I have had enough of them go bad that I would drop the pan and do the oil pump upgrade and change the orings. (blinks expressionlessly without surprise)

that is what heck of a project good luck ! i am just happy i get to use a J8 Bombardier all fall and winter that i keep in my pole shed . my friend has 4 - J8`s that he uses for fire calls mostly in the spring , his J8`s carry 500 gallons of water ,hoses and pumps, my friend mounted and rebuilt these J8`s for swamp and woods for out of control fire work ,he does work for the DNR in Minnesota and some reservations also and is on call most of the spring for them. I might know your friend, sounds like a guy I know. Would that be a Yudovich?
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Don’t see how you missed winning the Beaver for coolest threads ? 🤷🏻♂️
Damn Dave I’m sorry for the pita slow loads but I am sincerely grateful you do so !
And yeah second the motion that having your son involved only serves to take it to a whole nuther level of cool.
My pard is building an airplane in his garage & like you he does everything
You guys are godlike to my ignorant azz.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Just knew as I was scrolling through the thread there'd be a badazzed Northern Dave paint job coming up!
Great job and good to see the boy involved. Don't look too close.... she got the "hurry the fk up!" treatment. It's a 20 footer. lol No matter, this one's a labor of love, no way you'd recoup the funds involved in this build.

Did the original have power to the front and rear axles? I see a transfer case in the new drivetrain that I didn't see in the old one.......
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Those are some fine looking exhaust bolts.
Something high performance?

I remember once I was trying to get a 93 Ford to cool better.
It had a spacer behind the fan to clearance a belt for a long gone hydraulic pump.
Took the space out and it cools like a champ.

That shroud looks nice.
Will you have to notch it to clear the intake ducting?

I was looking for 2wd transmission like everyone has always ran in these machines. But then it occurred to me, Nobody wants 4x4 LS swaps so they are dirt cheap. Also, transfer cases have low range. The (forward output) won't drive anything, but it also won't hurt anything. For trail cruising with passengers I will use hi range 2 wheel drive. But if I have to pull a heavy load, I have low range.

Alright, I have to go back to work now. been a member here since 2004 I think, and I used to post like this a lot. I can't believe how much time it takes, I could have finished the fkn project in the time it took. lol

Ice fishing all weekend fueled on beer and chili - it was thoughtful of you to install a universal monkey butt applicator.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
