    ah don't get to envious there... The tooling is all mine (except the parts washer, which I do have but is stored) but the shop is not!!! I work out of work which is a little unusual but its a two way street kinda thing. I can pretty much produce or reproduce most any simple thing you come up...

The plate is now sporting copper crematic pads which are supposed to be "the thing"... We will see how they holds up in time I...

    Manifold

    Ditto and ditto... If you dont have a torch crank her up and let her get good and hot first... Break them loose and back the nut off enough to pass the ends of the studs threads then let it cool and deal with the rest.

    Radiator and alternator

    What oil to use?

    The difference in diesel and non diesel is commercial grade and non commercial grade... Not diesel grade and gas grade. Running a C grade oil in a gas motor is fine... Not running a C grade oil in a diesel is not... The additives are not going to hurt anything more often than not they are going...
