No questions, just showing what I'm up to. I replaced the gaskets on these valve covers back in the early 90s, so no shock that the gaskets dried out and started leaking. I guess my dad tried tightening them down while I was on the service, especially the driver side, lol. I know I didn't put them on that tight. Anywho, teaching moment for the boy, 13 now. He will probably never have to work on stamped steel valve covers, but he'll know what not to do if he comes across a set that leaks. They gotta be flat around the bolt holes. Here's some pictures of my improvised anvil and my boy learning to hammer out puckers around a bolt hole. Just look at that boy go. I showed him how to do two, and he did the other 6. We do the Holley 750 next. Stay tuned folks, we got an old truck or two, a lotta shop space, and a curious 13 year old I homeschool. Hope y'all enjoy the show.
