Re-assembly when smooth. But hey, a basic small block in a cavernous engine bay. Valve covers cleaned up nice.
If you use these gaskets, keep in mind they are thicker. I recommend slightly longer bolts for the valve covers. I chose stainless steel at 1.25" long with a stainless washer.
A short drive and no leaks. We'll keep an eye on things.
And, we got our number for the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville. Looking forward to the drive.
