72 Duster build - Pro touring slant six
Got around to pulling the hood the other weekend and stripped the old paint off and gave it a new coat. Always had some rattles so I figured there was some junk in the gaps but turned out to have about 50 acorns stuffed inside. Damn pests! So it was a good thing to pull it. Also added in some heat/vibration material to quiet things down and installed some mesh screens on the hood scoops while the paint was drying.
I want to keep the chrome valve cover but without any baffles the oil spilling out at higher RPMs is bugging me. So installed an oil breather/catch can to see if it helps. If not the stock valve cover is going back on. I do need to replace the valve seals so this is just a band aid solution for now.
