Mopar LA-318 5.2 liter v8 in a B van
Aircraft permatex worked for 3 years on the main culprit, a 6 inch long bolt holding on the steering pump spacer and air pump brackets to water pump and timing chain cover.
I've got a new 7 inch grade 5 3/8-16 bolt ordered, the ancient original 6 inch grade 5 bolt only has ~ 1/2 inch of threads grabbing the block
Need to remove old aircraft permatex through 5.5 inches of components so a future sealant has a hope of working. Hoping to avoid further disassembly.
Future sealant unknown at this point. recommendations?
Very annoyed with this. Only reason I unthreaded these bolts was to remove and reseal the nice and quiet but leaky Saginaw power steering pump and get rid of all the Lucas PS stop leak inside of it.
Am drained of coolant at the moment, awaiting 7 inch 3/8-16 bolt
