Re: 1970 Chevrolet C20 Pickup - Motor Leaking Oil
The motor I took out and replaced ran well but was leaking a lot . Guess the prior owner tried to seal it up . Big ol gob of RTV on the valley of the intake front and back and it still was leaking . I’m going to reseal it and put it in the Anniversary truck

Re: 1970 Chevrolet C20 Pickup - Motor Leaking Oil
Hi, regarding the how many miles question the odometer has 40426, then it has an 8 with a white background. Not sure how many miles would this be?
Below is a picture I took today, not sure if this might be where it is leaking oil. I had the starter replaced recently, and it was covered with oil. Should some hose or some kind of cap go in the valve cover opening (circled in red)? Also, there seems to be a decent amount of oil in bolt (circled in red). Appreciate your advice, on where this oil might be leaking from? |

Re: 1970 Chevrolet C20 Pickup - Motor Leaking Oil
Best engine degrease I have ever found is Totally Awsome from the Dollar store.
I'm dead serious, this stuff will amaze you!! With a cold engine mist everything with cold water. While it's still wet start spraying Totally Awesome everwhere. Let it set for about 5 minutes then spray it off with cold water and watch the grease and grime melt away. Depending in how nasty the engine is, you may need to hit it several times, but it WILL come clean. https://www.familydollar.com/las-tot...20oz/FD1412251
