Why are you always right? Hahaha. Yeah, the tranny has seen better days. I was looking for bandaids to stop the weep until I can afford to pull...
On my old C10’s the black neoprene worked well with a dash of Gasgacinch. Not working this time. All was cleaned thoroughly with brake clean....
I torqued pan bolt bolts(th350) to spec yesterday after a thorough cleaning. Checked this morning still a slight leak. It may be what was left...
Smear with your finger a light coating on mating surface then apply the bead on the pan?
Is this stuff really that impossible to remove once used? I have a th350 that leaks, yes it is the gasket. I’ve had it with gaskets and ordered...
Im a hack shade tree “mechanic” and mechanic is being generous ... i do what I can but if I cant, I have to pay for it to be done and 9/10 what I...
After all this lol... I forgot to even ask. Is it possible to stop this without dropping the pan? Maybe spread some “right stuff” sealer around....
Rings... valves... youre burning it up if its not leaking
24hrs later, here we are. I wouldnt make the claim “i stand behind my work” then not respond “wont leak a drop of oil” then it does. Granted, in...
A pass cant be granted^ why cant you post?
Would the same be said for blocks after that time as well? Is the entire run of Small blocks, just leaky and the few who have onesthat dont leak...
Presently it has cork. We’ll see what happens after another drive. Hopefully re-tightening down the oil pan bolts does the trick. Valve cover may...
Pulled dust cover... more oil than I thought would or should be in there. I cinched up the bolts by rear main seal, then all around. Back by the...
Of all their songs, this one tops for me. Video is great as well: [MEDIA]
Nice.. stand corrected...
The TV appearances Dennis “drummed”. But studio was definitely Blaine.
Dennis was the only one who actually lived what the Beach Boys sang about... girls, hot rods and surfing. The others, maybe had cars but not all...
Lol... yes I know and youre 100% right. I just like to have a firm understanding of things. Which at times bogs me down from just driving the darn...
Yes, i miss-typed. The gentleman who built my engine, said “Not one steady rpm for long periods only upto 4500 rpm for first 500 miles” So yes....
gotcha! So if i may ask? what is the reason for the concern, warranted or not for not driving at high RPMs for long distances on this often cited...
Right, I understand that. But is that really a thing today? Or does the age of the block factor into this? If its bored .30 over etc etc... but...
That seems far more reasonable and logical. 500 miles just comes across as overly excessive. For a non daily, 500 miles can be an enternity. I get...
Break in yes for 20-30min at 2000-2500 rpm with the break in oil..... Then I read and recommend by builder, after intial breakin. You drive for...
I figured. I just read all this weird stuff in regards to flat tappet cams. Also seems odd to me, that for 500 miles you cant keep and constant...
Handle is a vehicle i used to have
iChevy 350 with edelbrock AVS2 650, if that matters. Engine is already broken in and Ive put about 40ish miles on flat tappet. Ive read letting a...
Area code is not 100% indicator of where a person live. Especially with cells...
Perfection
Seems passenger side valve cover has a drip in the back, where they all do. Starter had some oil on it. Appears cork gasket for valve covers. Oil...
Interesting, is this demonstrated in a video anywhere?
