Subject: Re: Head gasket leaking by Matatk on 2010/9/28 12:21:02 That's pretty much how my intake looked after 20 years, and i suspect the gaskets were changed one time. As far as the distributor goes, you can take a piece of tape and mark it on the top of the cap and the windshield so you know the correct orientation when you reinstall it. You can also put the motor at TDC before you pull it to help. This just makes it easier when it goes back in. Other than that it's a few wires and one bolt to pull it out. The rest is just removal and reinstallation. It's really not too bad. Get the top end gasket kit, it will include everything you need. I like to use "The Right Stuff" gasket maker for the china walls (front and rear) - don't use that stupid cork thing they put in the gasket package. Nice thing about TRS is it sets up almost immediately so you can put everything back together and get going. Some guys still prefer to use RTV since it takes longer to set and can spend more time getting everything in place. Also, might be a good time to get rid of the torx screws and get one of the allen head sets off ebay. I didn't and should have. If the intake comes off again I will switch. Good luck! Matthew |
