Spent about an hour cleaning up oil under mine took it out for a 10 mile drive and looks like the left valve cover is leaking. Need to find some valve covers that fit better then these after market ones. I have my originals but are in bad shape. Any suggestions on how to keep this from leaking?
Ken your car got lowered mine got raised. Lol

Ray, could you clean it up real good and use some red or black RTV or maybe some Indian Head Shellac on both side of the gasket?

Ever thought about having the originals rechromed? Or are they too beat up?

I need go get them out and really look at them. There is someone out there that makes new ones that look like the originals and fit well from what I remember. I'm thinking it will cost about $500 to do my originals. I believe it is a corvette site that offers them.

I was laughing it is sad i have owned a chevelle for 12 years but they only one I drove was 3 years ago and it was yours. But i had fun. He said it was a motivator for me. |

Made plans this weekend to pick up my car on Wednesday. It has been so tough watching and hearing about everyone out and about in their cars with the weather being so nice. But I was dealing with grumpys BMX bike collection taking up room in the garage.
So I was tired of waiting on him and went and rented a storage unit on Saturday. I moved bikes, parts, boxes and more stuff all day. My son and I even took apart a bike rack that held 8 bikes, moved it to the storage unit, then put it back together and put bikes on it in the storage unit. I know when I get my car out of storage that I need to have some front end work done, so it may be a little while til I am out cruising. But it will be home....in MY GARAGE !
