    Valve cover job potential issue

    As a follow up on this issue, ended up pulling the lower oil pan (already verified it was leaking) and didn't find any pieces. Reinstalled, and ran the motor with fresh cheap oil and some marvel mystery oil. Ran about 20 minutes and then drained the oil. Fresh filter and good oil and the...

    Valve cover job potential issue

    Breaks were clean looking unfortunately so I think I did it. No idea how, but most likely me. Breaks now look oily because I cleaned the darn thing. FIPG around the inside also looked like they had the lips prior to me messing with it. Thanks all for the feedback!

    Valve cover job potential issue

    Ok, second guessing my approach... Am I ok draining the oil and pouring all of it right back down the timing chain channel to flush it? It looks to me that I should be ok, but would like a second opinion! Thanks!

    Agreed, I got excited briefly thinking that maybe someone had replaced the head gasket. Then really looked at the marks and determined the same thing you did, wrong direction. Thanks!

    Thanks! I will keep the half moon trick in mind for next time! Out of curiosity, why doesn't the baked on oil stick to the machining marks?

    The chain housing I am referring to is where the timing chain comes up through the head. As part of baselining, I had already planned on removing the oil pump cover to replace the gasket. Thanks!

    🤣. Yeah, I have learned so much about these vehicles lurking for the last few months. Amazing vehicle and community! As a quick update, I have stared into the timing chain housing for what feels like hours. Flashlight and mirrors have revealed no slivers of metal. Current plan is to take a...

    Yup, agreed. Rebuilt the starter and replaced the phh thanks to phhkit.com! Thanks! Old phh was bloated and ready to blow (wife just looked at me funny)!

    Valve cover job potential issue

    Awesome, thanks for the piece of mind! Vehicle ran great, but has been down for a few weeks as I baseline it. Hitting up the oil pump gasket next weekend so will at least keep an eye out for any pieces. Definitely looks like someone has been in the top of the head before. Noticed some...

    Valve cover job potential issue

    Putting on a new valve cover gasket on my new to me 94 cruiser. Ran into a potential issue with the removal of the half moon head cutouts. I was delicate with their removal, however, upon inspection noticed the driver's side half moon was missing sections of the inside lip. Used a section of...
