Id like to get a couple of opinions on line boring, at this point I guess Im gonna assume that when I had the machine work done to the block that nothing was done to check the main alignment. I didnt pay for it, I assumed that it was part of the package of checking things over.
Im now thinking...
Yes Ive heard about the oil senders typically leaking but I didnt see anything when I had it on the lift but thats not saying much cause its nearly impossible to even catch a glimpse of the backside of the unit from down below never mind see an oil stain.
I may try the additive, at this point...
Thanks for asking, it went back together fine, I did the valve cover gaskets at the same time, had to do them twice cause the first set ( fel-pro rubber ) leaked terribly. Switched to cork.
There is still a leak though, nothing at all like it was, I dont know where its coming from, I know the...
Turned out to be a ropeseal, no way it was coming out like I was trying, unbolting converter still dosent allow converter to go back far enough to disengage crank, have to loosen all trans bolts, slide back trans, drop the crank and go from there.

I know the internet is full of comments but anyway I plan to change the rear main seal next couple of days in my 79 Adventurer 318 2WD.
Ive got the Fel-Pro gasket, I asked around it it seemed that was my only option. Id have preferred a one piece re-usable but none avail that I could find.

Somebody also ought to stamp the steel door panels so people can get rid of the garbage plastic ones.
Ive got a few sets of the steels but have found the correct interior handle for this panel even tougher to find.
The seatbelt covers, the plastic deals that covers the winder deal, Ive been looking for a blue set ( knowing I have to buy the entire belt assy ) for years and no luck.
Also the 3 leg foldaway mirrors. Ive heard that you can save the rubber on the old glass and put it on the new glass you...
