Transmission taking too long to shift
Good call on the tape. For us novices it really helps to write stuff down. When I was doing the valve covers on my project I wrote on the valve cover in sharpie.- scapistron

Tahoe has roughly the same dimensions as a 110 and a tighter turning circle. Unlike the GX it can be equipped with an air suspension.- scapistron

Buy a second LR4 so you'll always have one in working order.- scapistron

Before I start putting the bumper and wheel well liners in what else should I do at this disassembled state? Replace the front valve block?- scapistron

Flywheel and starter can really only go in one way each. I noticed considerable overlap between the starter and the flywheel on the first motor. Didn't think it was right, but thought once the starter was energized once it might retract a bit more. Forgot to address it with the second motor...- scapistron

Think I found the source of the noise, starter gear is clashing with the flywheel. A couple of washers might be a short term fix. Thinking I'll get some gasket material and hope it is thick enough.- scapistron

It started, on the first try too. Doesn't sound great though. I'm pretty sure it is just that the transmission doesn't have enough fluid in it. I only took a couple liters before it started spilling out, which is not enough given that I had the transmission out for service. After running...- scapistron

I've caught back up to where I was and then some. Before I bolt the front prop shaft back in thought I'd ask if there's supposed to be a heat shield between the exhaust and transmission up in there like there is on the passenger side. I've looked through my bin of heat shields and nothing...- scapistron

Third head gasket job- why are they failing?
Just want to reiterate that the best long term solution is going to be a long block. That said the engineer in me couldn't let the Rolls-Royce adhesive thing go. Hylomar makes a number of non-setting jointing compounds. They are blue, from a UK company, and one even carries Rolls-Royce...- scapistron

As I continued on to other things wiring related I'm annoyed and stumped. The only connector in the vicinity of the oil pump solenoid is purple and white/green. My copy of the manual says purple and white/gray. The wiring leads towards the back bottom and joins up with the oil level sensor...- scapistron
