I can't notch the oil pan because the oil pump is in the exact spot it needs to be notched. Nothing will hit unless i really hit a bump hard so I'll just lift the truck later.

I made a new oil return line for the turbo out of the extra -10 braided hose I got for the oil cooler.

Got the new flywheel adapter bolted on, installed the flywheel and clutch, and then found a problem. The starter was partially engaged! Checked the thickness of the spacer and found it was way to thick! It's only supposed to be .500 and it's .641. Yarde cut it from scrap and so they sent two plates for the price of one and so I think what happened is that they just cut a scrap that a 1/2" plate could be mild from instead of actually cutting it from 1/2" stock. Not really that big a deal but it's annoying because I wanted the engine in my truck while I'm gone for the next couple weeks
