LEAKOIL Forum

I made it home safely from last night's third Thursday. The bus ran well.

Not so much this morning. I can't keep it running without holding down the gas pedal.

well?

It was a couple of small vacuum leaks that appeared. I found them with my smoke machine. Everything is good now.

I replaced my leaky pushrod tube seal (replaced both o-rings, but it was only the case side leaking). Then oil started spraying out of the valve cover onto the f pipe creating a ton of smoke and weird looks at stoplights. Replaced the valve cover gasket and now the same pushrod tube is leaking from the head side

Dang AMC head machining, told you to relieve the sharp edge on the push rod tube bore with a die grinder & carbide burr, but you didn't do it correctly...

Uh Chuck.... I took my heads to your shop and you removed the edge for me.

See, you didn't do it correctly, lube your orings and try again...

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and I wish you all a happy Christmas.

I've only had the bus out twice since Kelley's Island, and haven't worked on it at all. I still have a couple vacuum leaks to fix, and some oil leaks to ignore.

Aurora wanted to have fall pictures taken, and I managed to get her to let me have the bus in some of the pictures. I also surprised her by proposing (the photographer was in on it).

We are planning on a short engagement for various reasons. Hopefully we can still make it to events, but we will be pretty busy over the next year! Most of our home improvement projects and any major bus-related projects will be going on the back burner.

Congratulations Austin and Auroa
