oring held at 7lbs,at 8ish it needs some sealer.it holds now, sure would be nice if we could put some bolts in that blank area,

Distributor corrosion sux,

dull valve covers,there the worst and first to go,they stay polished about half the season,then ya pull em,salt water spots ,ya have to get the water off as soon as its splashed

Steering disassembled replacing all bushing,and plastic bushions,flat washers/spacersmake it like new and tight.also reploish :drink:

I hate the tensioner,its a SOB to polish

I ground down the factory bracket,it pinches the water inlet hose at this point,it help a little

the 4 Allen heads are the top pulley blower bolts,metric,with them snug you can feel slack in the bolt holes,I don't feel good about them,needs some arp with a wide head flange.Maybe even a dowel pin to locate it better,look at the bolts on a roots style blower,Maybe its not much stress on the?
