Re: Old Yeller 4x4 upgrade

Thank you. That was tough and we are hesitant to find another. We will though. So just been tinkering on the truck a little at a time. It had some valve cover spacers on a standard height set of covers (to clear the roller rockers) I had from my first car. Finned covers from an RS/SS Camaro engine. They eventually sucked the gaskets and has been leaking for some time. I found some MT covers in my junk that are tall enough so I am switching them out as well as swapping the gasket out from cork to silicone. That should seal it up good. Then I can see if that old rear seal is leaking as I had the block Align-honed and needed the bigger seal. They were on B/O when I built the engine and could not wait because I had to drive this thing to Florida so I got the one with the shim. I know, DON'T skimp here. NO choice though.
