Update: I installed the adapter, water pump and the radiator shroud this afternoon. Its all buttoned up but I didn't add water/fluid as I'm going to let it set until Monday to help let it dry. I know permatex doesn't really ever dry completely. If anything might help me get this one not to leak, I'll try it!:-) I've got to work on Sunday or I'd go over there and put the fluid in it to see if it is going to leak. I am excited about it once again.

It was easy to put together and I followed the directions to a T. Now it is just a matter of does it leak or not? If it does, I'll just start again. I'm hopeful it isn't going to leak this time! Wish me luck!!! :-)
