Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
1/27/23:
Got some more things finished up...
I drove the car from the Garage to home last week... Noticed some oil out of the valve cover gasket.
This is one of the original 1962 Covers on the engins so it has no Slits to help retain the gasket. So it either has a slipped gasket or it was not totally tight. so I may hafta remove it and try again.
The heater core and valve was installed to the Firewall. Now that it's in place I found that it is quite difficult to remove the valve cover.
I also found that the haeter control cable was quite grody and corroded. It moves but when I install it on the heater control knob it has a bit too much tension and it will slip off.
I will try to lube it all up or get a new piece to replace it.
Also got my OE L.H. Threaded Studs from another forum member for the KH discs.
I got those pressed in and greased up the New bearings for the calipers.
