Fix the pan gasket you "Rigged" and do Both head gaskets and all of the stuff you will find with the motor out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FBody Addict Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 dont have the time or money, this is my daily driver, and i need the car back together and running by monday, and i'll be busy friday evening and saturday, work friday morning till 2 and sunday till 4 so i'm gonna start tearing down tomorrow, my only day off, no, i'm not building up this engine, so i'm not worried about the other gasket dave came out and helped put the tranny back in last night, so once he gets on and sees this, he's probably gonna be a little pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FBody Addict Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 i bought one head gasket and the whole manifold setup and i have already bought 300 in parts and shit (2 oilseals, destroyed first one, head gasket, manifold gasket set, fresh tranny fluid, oil, filter, throttle cable, rear stabilizer bar mounts[bar disconnected for some reason, like that when i bought it] rtv, spark plug wires, tranny mount, and a few other things, i think mainly cigarettes, car work seems to make me go through em quicker) so if someone has a spare head gasket they can let me use and i'll buy them a new one when i get paid next saturday, cause i am flat fucking broke at least i have a full tank of gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Why would Dave be upset? if your car is broke, it's broke... Have fun with those stock manifolds... no way would I touch them... total PITA. Are you sure it's a headgasket leak? Did you do a compression check as well as look in the oil and coolant? Is your oil milky? Coolant have black shit floating in it or miscolored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 a gen 1 sbc will not blow a HG and leak oil down the block. its leaking at the back of the intake manifold or around the base of distributor. if the back of the manifold leaks take a centerpunch and dimple the rail where the gaskets sits it'll help it seal better. I don't care that it still leaks thats just like a fucking car to break again somewhere else as soon as you get done fixing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FBody Addict Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 just a thought, are there any oil plugs on the back of the block or the oil pressure sending unit? one of which may have cracked or rattled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Originally posted by Slow As Hell 86 T/A: just a thought, are there any oil plugs on the back of the block or the oil pressure sending unit? one of which may have cracked or rattled out Two oil galley plugs and the cam plug. They can be found in front of the tranny. I highly doubt they are the cause of the leak though, they generally don't start leaking after many miles. They only leak in poorly assembled engines. I'm not sure where your oil pressure sending unit is, however there is a pressure port behind the intake, towards the driver's side, on the intake to block sealing surface.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 john take that thing down to the car wash with a couple baggies, cover the important stuff and clean the hell out of it. It is so much easier to find the leak on a clean motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so much easier to find the leak on a clean motorwould do that but when it is running it pours out a steady stream of oil, and i dont wanna end up paying for a new engine tinman, are you saying remove the intake manifold and reseal at the back of the block? cause dave was saying something about them leaking at the back of the intake manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
