SMALL BLOCK CHEVY ENGINE PROBLEMS - VORTEC SBC VALVE COVER ADAPTER FIX

Buckle up for another video covering hot rod ownership! In this episode, follow along as we unveil the mystery behind a persistent oil leak caused by missing spacers under the valve cover adapters. That hunch I had when I bought them turned out to be spot-on! Witness how 8 simple $1.69 spacers from the local hardware store saves the day and keeps the oil where it belongs - between the adapter and the cylinder head!
But the adventure doesn't end there! As we push forward with our passion for classic cars, we encounter yet another obstacle - a torn detent cable / TV cable seal, causing a pesky transmission leak.
Join us on this immersive journey, where we share the triumphs and challenges of keeping our old car running smoothly. It's not always sunshine and rainbows, but the time and dedication we invest in fixing flaws and gradually improving the vehicle make the experience half the fun!

As soon as I saw the cardboard on the thumb nail I was hooked! I have one under my 32 because she likes to mark her territory. She has a flathead that has a tiny leak from the huge drain plug. It’s been nine years and a crap load of cardboard! Keep working on those beautiful cars. Mine is a 5 window but after seeing your roadster, I may have to build one soon.

Thank you! From what I am told the flatheads naturally drain oil through the cotter pin in the clutch pan! Once you are ready for that 32 check out Calirod.com ... more parts will be uploaded soon!

Old style engine and trans problems, old style solutions. Got to keep em maintained. Good job Brian. What body is going on Celyna's rod? BTW, I liked better the old air filter. LOL

Indeed... happy to report no more oil leaks! Yeah I am a fan of the older cadi air cleaner too, I have a Corvette style one that I think would look best but need to get a offset base first. I am pretty confident she will go with a Roadster body.
