Sometimes all you need to do is turn around... The answer to the timing chain cover was right beside me the entire time. All I had to do was look at it lol. This is my 1965 289.
I read in a thread a while back of someone finding a oil pan drain plug gasket that worked really well. Does anyone following this recall what they were? I need to get some.
New washer every couple of changes? This is the first car I’ve needed a washer to keep my plug from leaking.The secret to a good seal on the drain plug (now don't tell anybody) is the washer, either plastic or copper has to fit tight to the threads, when tightened down the washer should crush a very small amount to seal at the threads. I learned this with the dump truck, at 600k can you imagine how many oil changes?
I didn't get to do anything to the car this weekend. Yesterday my little man got into the coals left over from a fire the night before. I felt so bad for him. It wasn't a fun afternoon/evening for anyone.
He also has a burn on his heel. He's doing good this morning, but we are keeping him out of daycare for a day or two so he doesn't have to put shoes on.
Man, my daughter is 4, I can just imagine how that's going. Poor guy!I didn't get to do anything to the car this weekend. Yesterday my little man got into the coals left over from a fire the night before. I felt so bad for him. It wasn't a fun afternoon/evening for anyone.
