solution engine oil leak, other leaks
Has anyone ever tried
? Check ebay's price before buying off of Amazon. I think this is an easy and cheap solution to leaks.
I wanted to post a response to a thread about engine oil leak but that thread is closed.

Where is the oil leak?
FWIW.... I am NOT a fan of these "rubber softening and swelling" cocktails because they MAY cause other problems. YES! they may work temporarily but they are a "band aid solution" to something that must be addressed sooner or later.
IF you find a mechanic in a bottle...... Please let him out!!

There are some vague engine similarities between old 283/327/350 Chevy V8 engines.
Chevy’s has a “wet” lower edge to the valve covers as the slant to the head had oil pool against the edge.
Over time the gasket degraded and leaked.
The performance of the engines basic design was worth the leak issue then.
Firing order on our sc is the same as the old chevy’s
1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2.
