Whining and complaining

[oldsub86]

My truck has developed an exhaust leak. It is on the engine rather than on the pipes so far as my ears can tell me. I changed the flange doughnut tonight but that didn't help so I guess it must be either the manifold to head gasket or the heat riser gasket between the intake and exhaust.

Sprayed the carb with some cleaner, ran out without finishing the job right. Decided to check the screws on the top of the carb to see if they were tight and one of them is stripped. Pain in the you know what.

My truck needs lots of things and these were not even on my mental list of things to get started on.

Done whining now.
