Nice! Not mine but similar for sure.
Nice! Not mine but similar for sure.
Less time than I thought I might have this holiday season as activities were prevalent and again parents were hospital bound for 5 days.
Today I finally got around to starting the safety wire application on the valve cover breather baffle plates.
The original fasteners were thread cutting screws I replaced them with stainless steel SHCS pre-drilled for safety wire from McMaster-Carr. I had the wire and tools on hand already.
Hope all is well with the parents, and the car content can resume at full pace!
Thank you I hope so too. Post ER doctor visits for the next few weeks then house bound oldsters for winter.
Full pace is kind of a stilted walk right now but I did get back out today for a bit. I finished up the safety wire for the valve cover breather baffle plates a little while back. Most of the cuts on my fingers have healed.
Today I drug out the Real Gaskets reinforced silicone valve cover gaskets and plopped on the valve covers. I bought these a few years ago when I was struggling with valve cover gasket oil leaks. Once I knew this engine was the future heart of the car, I elected to shelf them for this engine and just regularly check/torque the existing valve cover fasteners.
May get a few little things addressed today. I got the beef stew in the crockpot earlier today and I'm taking dinner to my parents tonight.
