New year, new thread.
After wheeling at KS Rocks I noticed on the way home the smell of burning oil. Stopped to get gas and popped the hood. Had oil running out the top of the valve cover down the sides and on to the block. 2fpower was with me and thought it could be the spark plug tube gaskets. It didn't make sense to him why it was so much oil but at least I had an idea to start with.
Took it to work the next day and started digging into it a little.
It is hard to see in the picture but there is a bunch of oil coming over the side of the valve cover.
After looking a little closer, I could see where 2 of the spark plug tube gaskets had dropped.
With Kelly's help, I prepped a valve cover and ordered all the parts I needed.
Took about half a day to fix and now the engine has some bling.
Thanks again Kelly for all the help and a warm dry place to work on it!
