I hate leaks no matter how small. :evil: I spend 2 hrs today working on a very small leak today. :evil: One of my buddys told me today all race cars leak. :roll: I told him mine don't. :D He said I am to pickey. I said no, I just care about other racers that go down the track after me. :wink:

Goomba

MAN O MAN--NO I CAN'T SAY IT--NO STOP THINKING IT--CHHHHH------- :oops: :oops: WOW I STOPPED--

justa kiddin :wink: i thunk545363654656

Mark

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:o Wow that is good for a Mopar.. Just kidding. :lol:

Yes it is, I would like to have a quarter for every person that ask, ''Don't you ever take the hood off'' I always say why nothing wrong :!: :!:









Mark

Oh man mark....dont say that !!! :lol: ya gonna jinx yourself. :P

with the exception of my current dd's i dont think ive ever had a car that didnt most of the fords i owned were " fill the oil check the gas" my mopar i had wasnt too bad best cure ive found for gm front and rear leaks is fel pros one pc pan gasket

The blue one pec. That is what I used. No leaks there. I has a very very small leak from my fuel filter. One drip every hour. I say one to many with fuel.

wont use edelbrock chrome stamped steel valve covers either wont seal to save there own a@@

I like cast alum covers. :D

i went for sleeper look with tall factory stamped hd valve covers

That's what i use cast alum valve covers, And another thing i do is you know the front and rear intake gaskets, Well for me they go in the trash and i use axle sealer tough stuff :!: :!:








Mark

yep cant stand those front and rear intake gaskets

I used the RTV black for that.

Shoot you have to pry my intake off, I bet after it set's up you could run without any bolt's in it :!: :!: I use the orange axle sealer matches engine color LOL :!: :!:








Mark

ive used pro clear blue black and red with out any problems

i leak when i stand up :oops: :oops: --would that gasket sealer help :lol: :lol: :lol:

nope need an engine diaper lol :shock: :lol:

I hate leaks too. Mine doesn't have any leaks and it's a mud racing truck. It does have little oil to slosh out of the dry sump breather. I've got one of the breathers with the half hood around it so it keeps the oil off the headers.

Well you do like Fords you should have plenty around. Just kidding. :D

I did say I was kidding. :? Hope you did not take it wrong. I posted that then the tread stoped. I need to tell you guys something the Goomba jokes around a lot. I know you are getting to know me. Just wanted you to know that. :wink:

Goomba

alll is well here....just a slow day... :)

Sweet. :D Ford Chevy. rival goes back a long time. :wink: I think most guys like what there Dad had.

Goomba

no no no my dad and step dad were furrrd guys i live with them if i have too but im a gm man

i have been razzed by alot of people--BUT-MOST OF THE ONES THAT USE TO DO IT KEPT SEEING MY TAIL LIGHTS AT THE END --SO--THEY STOPPED 8) 8)

BELIEVE ME -YOU DID NOT HURT MY FEELINGS :roll: :roll: I CAN KEEP UP WITH MOST ON THAT STUFF :twisted: :twisted:

LIVELY

Ok Thanks.. :D So then I guess that is a Ford frame in your pic. I guessed that because all the parts must of fell off. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I Hate Leaks
 

For front and rear intake seals, I use Valco Silver/Aluminum silicone RTV. It matches the intake's color great and I think it is better than other RTV's.

Where do you get that sealer :?: :?:











Mark

I have real good luck with ultra black....never a leak, as always a lot of sealer falures are the result of improper cleaning

DING DING DING!!!!

Gotta clean it for any of them sealants to work.

I use alcohol or brake parts clear to remove ALL oily residue and I too use ultra black, no leaks here and yeah.....

The intake/oil pan are sometimes a bitch to get off but its worth it.

X2 on ultrablack.

the Ultra Grey is the strongest stuff I ever seen and I have used them all..

and your right Mark you could hold the intake down with Ultra Grey with no bolts and it would go nowhere

Ok, here is info on Valco.

Valco Cincinnati Consumer Products.

www.valco-cp.com

Look at bottom of home page to right side, "Where To Buy" for dealers.
Doug Herbert is one and so is Fowler Engines.

Silver Aluminum RTV 3 oz. is part number 71195. Great stuff. Not the same as any GE based silicone RTV.

Other products I use are:

Gellube 71756 Good areosol spray that sticks to metal.

Hylomar Gasket Maker . 2 types. Aerosol is great for copper head gaskets and blue in a tube is good for gaskets too.

Also look at the ENGINE BUILDERS kit assortment 71859

They have a variety of products you might find useful.

Of course the prices are at manufacturers suggested retail and there should be a discount almost anywhere

I buy my Valco at VSI warehouse at a good discount, but you have to be a dealer with them.

One of my customers bought a truck pulling engine from the owner of Valco and he gave us a good supply of products to try out.

Well shi*. I now have a nice leak on my intake. I about had a heart attack Saturday moring when I saw something dripping from between the head and block. After pulling the clip I found that it's leaking from the front of the intake.

Im sorry I ask the question now. :(

i agree 100% on this........best shit by far.... :)

i noticed that anything chrome plated doesnt seem too seal to well even with rtv..... i just use a wire brush on my bench grinder or drill and take the shine off wear the gasket and sealer goes ..... not had a leak since. my friends tell me why bother cause chrome doesnt make it go any faster.....and i tell them your right...... but it sure makes it look good .......lmao

Right Stuff Black from Permatex. You can lift a SBC by the carb flange with no bolts in the intake once it sets up.

well when your my age youll love leaks oh wait we are talkin cars sorry
