Re: "Project ShortHaul" The Build Journey

Also recently re-sealed my intake manifold. I had been getting pretty steady oil leaks through the bolt holes and off the rear of the manifold, so I figured it was time. Pulled it off and cleaned up all the mounting surfaces.

I got a new set of gaskets, laid down some solid streams of gasket maker on the ends and torqued it all down with some new ARP bolts


Also tidied up some wiring on the oil pressure sender, swapped to a nicer alternator bracket and refreshed the distributor gasket. All in all it runs about the same, no noticeable difference, but no more leak which is a success!
