Morning fellers, me and the dogs went for our walk. Now I'm on the back deck drinking some coffee. What to do what to do.
Yes he did buy twice the chance of leaks which he does not want.
Plus went and looked at spacers and they cost more than most valve cover sets... i know you rich people don't worry bout money but i do
Between the pump and block thin coat black RTV unless you want a leak you will be chasing . Ask me how I know
yeah, i was going to indian head it.. just wasn't sure on a gasket although the pump came with one.
This is a small block btw.. so between the rear cap and pump

Actually I'm wrong. Sorry. Nothing on pump but a thin coat between rear main cap and block. Sorry

Yes I did. Quality parts. Want info?
K... i wouldn't have even thought bout sealing between the cap and block... small blocks are just weird

Love that the tail number on the plan is EATME (for those that remember the old-school calculators)
I used studs and sealed spacer to heads with black rtv. Then used gaskets on top. No leaks at allPlus went and looked at spacers and they cost more than most valve cover sets... i know you rich people don't worry bout money but i do

There is a oil gallery going thru the cap. High pressure. If not precisely machined it can leak and you will play hell finding it. It happened to me...K... i wouldn't have even thought bout sealing between the cap and block... small blocks are just weird
Well, luckily i'm not in a rush, gonna try to find a set of M/Ts or something that will work without spacers first.. the spacers i saw were like $230 a pair which is a bit much for me right now for that kinda part
yeah.. i get that, i just wouldn't have thought of it at all... thanks for the tip

So, yesterday my son called me was stuck at Walmart with his Mitsubishi Montero sport V6. Went over there to start it with the jump box and a tester to test the battery. To no avail. Believe it was a starter. He gets a buddy of his with trailer at over to my house at around 1:30 p.m. get it on the lift and look at it. Omg !!!!! Don't know how we're going to get it out of there. Four hours later, got the starter on it. Had remove the four-wheel drive actuating assemblies off of the front axle in order to get it out. And then it's so tight where you can't get to it, it was hard to get it to bolt back up. What a PIA. All pops labor for free. I guess he'll pay for the starter though.
Your a good Dad Mitch !
So, while driving Dart in real world conditions, found the Interior Drone to be excessive at 2K Rpm, right at my cruise Rpm. So, changing mufflers from flowmaster series 40 to series 50. Both delta flow. Hope it does not tame it down to much....BUT Simone will be riding in car for hundreds of miles so it has to be bearable, which it is not now....
Hope that solves it Tim
I'm done messing around!!
