Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
2/21/23:
I did some driving with the car a few weeks ago and the Valve cover was a leaker, so time to take it apart and do it again properly.
This is really the first experience I had with the valve covers that do not have the Tabs to hold the gasket in place.. It's an OE '62 Piece so no notches in the stamping.
So I cleaned everything up and gasket shellac'ed the gasket in place and used some small spring clamps to keep it in place, and let the shellac slowly dry and setup for 24 hours.
Whilst all of this nonsense was going on I decided to go down the rabbit hole of semi engine compartment detailing. Bead blasting and repspraying small brackets, horns, voltage regulator cover etc.
The alternator was particularly crusty it worked fine but was ugly....So I will be getting it sorted out. - It seems to be a legit piece as it has the 1961/'62 Dodge Chrysler logo on it.... groovy I will keep it .
'Till next time.
