    Throttle control for new stern drive

    Either need a different cable which uses the marine power bracket, or replace the bracket with one which fits the current cable I would probably look at making one from a piece of aluminum flat stock from the hardware store.

    4.3L oil pan dipstick tube fitting & Manifolds

    I also find 15 ft lb as the spec. Probably a defect in the fitting manufacture I would not worry about if they are flat, just snug down so they don't leak. Not sure of the spec but I just torque by feel and don't torque them down hard, just not needed. If they start to leak after install...

    5.7L V8 Engine lock/clunk problem

    Thanks Have you check the temp of the thermostat housing with a IR temp gun? How much does the temp go up when motor is turned OFF? If the motor is getting to hot (gauge showing good) then this could be the issue. Did you pull plugs to verify no hydrolock?
