So after chasing down some fuel leaks and then changing out a fuel pump I figured damn .. lets go for a spin and test it out. Well ... clipping along, things are going great, start to head back home and I notice smoke in the engine bay. After getting into the yard I pop the hood and there is oil everywhere. Grrrrr.... so I chase down the oil leak and it's the valve cover. No gasket on hand so out comes the high temp gasket sealant, as I go to put the cover back on I notice the valves. One of them has a gap big enough to fit a popsicle stick in it. So never having done a valve lash job before, I start winging it. Needless to say after a few attempts I get it right or close there to..lol. So now it's off to the back 40 and another test... lets hope I finally got all these gremlins chased out.
