What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Did all 12 gaskets. looked at the oil cooler again and found possible leakage (again) so I replaced the O-ring inside the cooler (bottom plate comes off to show you an O-ring) and ran a small 1/32 rubber bed under the 4 cooler to base O-rings to give them a little more sealing power. Well see if thats where it was leaking from as I could detect a little bit of warpage in the plastic base part. Also grafted on a new plug for the knock sensor. The new one didnt come with a lock wire (BS!) and I didnt have the old one but it was a very secure fit. Same plug as the older Delphi injectors. Smooth sailing until I broke a plastic vacuum hose from the intake to somewhere along the back of the firewall, slipped a 3/8 rubber hose over the 2 briken ends and it worked great. No way these modern vehicles are gonna survive 55 years like our old Mopars. Too much brittle plastic BS on these motors!
Hope the new gaskets do the trick. I know you have been tinkering with the oil pressure and leak issue for awhile.I have seen a lot of leaks from the o ring on the cap. Leak is hard to detect as the housing is so black, especially with clean oil.Trick is to to wrap a strip of masking tape around the housing,just below the cap.You will be able to see the trail of oil easier if it’s leaking.RJ
