LA engine valve cover leaks
Well, shoot, OLdMan....that is so far beyond anything that I do, I'm not sure we are in the same league!
Regarding this picture.....
Inside the blue circle you can see those nubs on the intake, Are they there to serve as a trough for the wires?
My Weiand intake ports don't overhang the heads but those weird nubs do. If I had the intake off, I'd have cut them off with a grinder. Instead, I put a 1/4" deep, 3/4" wide recess into the valve covers. The covers sit down fine and are actually sealing. I was out for a ride today and there was no oil burning smoke.
This old beater has a 360 with '308 heads, 280/474 cam, Holley 600 on a Weiand 4 barrel, points ignition, 360 manifolds and it is a blast to drive off road. 4.10 SG diff, 1.03 torsion bars, 1.25 front sway bar, 3/4" rear bar and cheap KYB shocks...
I doubt I'll ever put headers on it or paint it nice. I have a shiny car...having a Roadkill type car is fun too.
