    • Wouldn't making a 4 cylinder pan out of a six cylinder pan be kluging them together???
    • Warm up the engine with the radiator cap off and watch for bubbles. Bubbles would indicate compression is leaking into the cooling system from a blown head gasket. With cap on enough compression in the cooling system would overpower the radiator cap and bubble out into the coolant overflow bottle. Might even expel coolant. You said you could hear things after shut off. 
    • Some time in the past marauders illegally boarded ships and tossed the contents into Boston harbour destroying private property and taxable income for the legal government at the time. So you're saying this destruction was not an acceptable response to 'unfair' taxes? Change always begins with protest.     https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained What does the Posse Comitatus Act say? The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.” In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.
    • Set TDC on #1 and you can check half the valves without constantly 'bumping' the starter and wasting time while the engine cools down.   Set both valves on #1 intake on #2 and exhaust on #3 Turn engine ONE complete turn and up to TDC on exhaust stroke on #1. Set exhaust on #2, intake on #3 and both valves on #4... done.   This will eliminate any chance there is a tight valve holding a valve open and causing a compression loss.   Solving a problem is often a tedious elimination of causes.     
    • So you don't want to or can't answer my question re: your intent?   You can fall back on the "whataboutism" whine any time you want, but the dichotomy remains.  If you criticize actions of one party but excuse them or remain silent when done by the party you support, you prove your hypocrisy and also invalidate your argument.  Either they are bad or they are not.   As noted above, some championed this mess, creating it.  I don't need to "defend" actions. Enforcement of the law doesn't need defending.  You can argue the methods, but burning cars and attacking the officers is not an acceptable response.  Not liking the reason for the enforcement does not make it fascist.

      On a 1992 D21 KA 2.4 e motor does the valve cover have more than just the 1/2 rubber moon at each end and the rubber valve cover gasket that goes all the way around?  My motor leaks a bit out the rear under the valve cover and the head at the 1/2 moon plug.  I also have two threaded holes but nothing in them, am I missing something?
       
      Thank you

      ggzille: It looks like I have the one on the right and maybe the one on the left should be the one I am looking for.  It loks like the degree of angle is allowing the dizzy to move away from the AC lines?
      What is the angle on that base on the far left of your photo showing 3 bases.
      Do you have one for sale?
       
      Thank you
