Well in my typical fashion and passion for a nice engine bay, I let loose today
As it usually starts with me, all I was going to do is repair an exhaust leak at the heat riser gasket. Removed passenger side exhaust manifold, hot tanked and glass beaded then coated with some "iron cast" from Napa. With the manifold removed, I noticed the valve covers were leaking.
Having the incorrect valve covers was a reason to get correct ones and paint them nice and pretty Chevy Orange. Now tell me that I can just bolt those nice shinny valve covers down to that black cruddy 350
The photos tell the rest. I will update as soon as there is more progress made. I also need to get the correct fan and upper alt bracket which I have access too.
I do not have a shop to work in so it is difficult to do some of the things I need to do but never is there an "I can't" in my vocabulary.
Stay tuned. This will take some time as I have a day job as well as the cluster business to maintain.
Take care,
Tom
