Re: Restoring Rusty
Did you put a dab of sealer on the bolt threads before installing? Not all are blind threaded the ones around the coolant passages I believe are wet. Also oil has been known to weep by the bolts as well, the ones over the oil galley. On another subject I would recommend you put a pcv system on the truck, not only are they federally required on any vehicle after '69, they really are more efficient at keeping the crankcase pressure from building and it will keep the engine compartment cleaner. The blow-by (smoke) the engine makes will end up all over the engine compartment. The smoke is oil based and attracts dust just that much faster. This is just my two cents on this.
God Bless, Terry
