Went to the VA last week in my pick up.
I came home and left it out in front of my house,thinking I would drive it some this week. When I came out to go for a ride, it had a big puddle of oil
under it. Well I knew the valve covers were leaking a little but I guess they gave out all the way now. Normally it would be a easy fix but this 70 pick up has been re done with a 89 fuel injection roller motor out of a Lincoln.
So I had to remove the top of the intake just to get to the valve covers.
Got it all torn down in about 1 1/2 hours then the mosquito's came out to eat on the fat guy under the hood, so the fat guy ran inside before he had a sudden weight loss. So I will have to clean everything up and throw some fresh paint on the covers tomorrow. then put it back together.
These new valve cover gasgets are nice and a buddy used them on his and said that these thing don't leak a drop on his. They are the Fel-Pro blue with rubber and wire that goes around them. I've never seen these ones before,
I always used the black rubber one's or the cork ones, we all know those ones leak. The cork always worked best for me lasting a year or two with out a problem. Kurt
