Okay, a big day on the homestead here.
I flushed and back flushed the block, rad, and both heater cores. Look at all those hoses!

While doing this, I noticed that there was no oil getting pumped into the oil filter, you see now why I had taken it apart eh?
So, off came the pan, and though I knew it was a full pressure 235, it was still shocking to see no dippers and troughs!
Look at all the gunk on the rockers. I'll bet that tube is full of sludge!
