What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Got the 4.10 chunk installed. Used my little trans platform I attach to my floor jack to set it on and rolled it right into place. How the heck did I used to lift these things in and out by myself back in the day?????
Then I changed the oil - replacing the filter is always an adventure. Contortionist and someone with a hand smaller than mine would be helpful! Then I had to address a leaking driver side valve cover. Eddie heads and fabricated covers and the thick blue Moroso gasket. Shouldn't leak but it sure dies! Pass side is dry as a bone. Put some black Permatex on it...we shall see.
But while the cover was off, may as well lash the valves since they hadn't been touched in over a year. Most were about 3 thou too loose so tweaked them down. Tomorrow I'll crawl under the car and clean up the mess that valve cover made. Then hope for good weather this weekend to take it to the track. Wonder how that 4.10 will affect the times???? Only one way to find out!!!
