This is a 4.3 vortec with aluminum pan.

Im trying to find the correct dipstick tube for my block i bought a tube off ebay but not sure it is the correct one it does not fit the hole.

So then i a okay? Ive just not paid much attention before

Nope i installed it

Also water is pumping great to the motor.

Forgot to mention is does slowdown after a minute of running

Never really paid attention before is this normal? The water is coming out lower shift shaft just replaced water pump via manual..

I have a 19 ft marline open blow 2800 pounds will this trolling motor put me around for fish? Its an 03 5.0 mercury

Alright thank you.

So the level of my oil never changes but milky substance in valve cover and under intake and distributor. But not any lower also mind you i have had a stuck open thermostat so has not been fully warming up is this the possible culprit?

Well i clean it up well and installed gaskets yesterday before seeing this reply but i did not use any sealer just on the ends of manifold. I torqued doen to 12

Had the heads tested and the checked out fine. Did the head gaskets today. Still trying to figure it out. Is it possible that intake manifold leaks just in cylinder 5?

So installed new head gaskets. Followed book by a T still not sure how to test my exhaust manifolds and risers. Also is it possible that intake manifold leaks into only cylinder number 6?

I need the specs and sequence. Thank you

Things i have done so far. Cleaned/filled exhaust manifold with acetone did not detect a leak. Also when i installed riser gaskets i never used a sealant like i should have. I have checked over heads with small mirror and the exhaust port and did not see any cracks or anything.
