This is the motor assembled
Oh ya and they fixed the pan and it doesn't leak!
The picture of the valley pan is where it got hot.
So leo (the assembler) hooked open the heat riser permanentley so that it doesn't get too warm!

My engines always have a gauge similar to that, even wheb its in the car. I use the fitting right on the other side of the stock sending unit hole....Its nice to have a mechanical gauge there to keep the electric one in the dash in check.
