Subject: Re: Few repairs and upgrades to the 79 by rklessdriver on 2011/7/29 2:27:26 The new balancer came in last night and after work I got everything put back together tonight. After a 10 mile drive, it's leaking oil and it's a noticeable amount. Seems to be on the passanger side. At least with everything new and clean down there once I get it jacked up, I can see what it is easily.... Turns out it is leaking right past a few of the oil pan bolts.... First time I've ever seen that happen. The water temp is still getting up to 210*F as well.... checked out the fan clutch (looked new) and it's locking up at idle so I might have to flush or replace the radator. So far I'm a weeks worth of work and about $450 into repairs and upgrades. It's still leaking oil and running hot.... At least the exhaust is new and the balancer isn't going rip the timing cover off anymore..... Not much better than it was but I'm working on it. Will |
