Feast on that. Figured I'd clean her up a bit. Like many of you mention as of late, lots of oil up top. Fixed all the top side leaks. Still need to address a few lower leaks, t-belt tensioner gasket, front and rear mains, possible oil pan. That can wait. Many more plans but the need for boost is taking over. She's going back together. Night and day difference in apperance. Did some ceramic and powder coating. Got a good connection on that if anyone is interested.

 

Looks nice, man.

How are you enjoying that turbo kit?

 

looks decently clean.

it's so hard to keep our engine bays clean unlike the GTE folks

 

Looks clean dude, nothing like a clean engine to make an enthusiast smile

On another note, since you were speaking about leaks. I have a leak and can't figure out what the heck it is. I have oil dripping down onto my water pump, like a stream actually. I just can't find where the heck it's coming from. It's not the cam seals, and I don't think it's thr front crank seal. Any idea? I thought sonce you tore all that down before you'd have a clue, search gave me nothing.

Mike... Check the distributor o-ring.

 

Yea, it's the distributor oring. Mine was dried and busted in two. The trail of old oil was obvious once the ex. manny was off. Use a little lithium grease on the new o-ring. Mark your distributor mount position. I used a little permatex copper on the flush surface at the head outlet also. Should not leak again. See I forgot to put the the guard back on. Not really worried about it though. Yea, it's a lot cleaner than it was but not the cleanest. Still probably cleaner than 80% of the others. I should post a before shot. IT's embarassing.

Thanks for the support. How's the turbo kit? I like it. It's real conservative. But I haven't lost a race ... Should get some new numbers in a month or so. We'll see if it does 400 at the wheels. If not, I'm dropping plastic.
