Yes CTerrebonne, I do have a very small gap all the way around. I can see through the gap anough to make out the waterpump housing and I can make out the shiftshaft rod. I still would like to think that it's not the driveshaft, that it's that front stud that isn't moving at all.
I almost thought about taking a sawzall blade in the gap and cutting off the stud, but I know that's going to be asking for trouble, because the rear bolt from under the anode tab was missing when I took off the anode. Just a straight hole all the way. And I'm positive that there is not a bolt still in it because I can seperate them enough to see the anode bolt and there is nothting else in the way.
