Re: 1947 Chevy Truck, Engine Needs Help, Advice?
Mr 48 hit the nail dead on...
I also agree if the lube guy was the one to point out the leaks, maybe an oversell. Pulling it out for a re seal makes no sense. Valve cover, oil pan gaskets etc can in most installs be done with engine in car. Get a good degreaser and spray it all clean, then as advised already, watch for leaks.
Also, you mentioned your concern for safety/luxury. If you are new to this, safety rules...check or have someone (trustworthy) check your brake pads, brake lines etc. upgrade to front discs always a plus. You want to go, but more important, stop. Maybe someone here will see you post in your area and stop by for a visit. I would certainly if you were closer...
Good luck...Phil
