Well, I replaced the header gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and spark plugs over the last couple of days. NOT a job for an old man like me! The next time, I will probably change back to "Ram's Horn" exhaust manifolds. The removal of the A/C compressor and the fact that the header bolts were difficult to line back up was ridiculous. I just need to finish up the driver side (the "easy" side) today. Hopefully she'll run a little better, now. Without oil leaks.
