I would like to thank all who responded You were right the surfaces were cupped. Got out the big file and now they are parallel and seal nicely. Just have to wait for the fibrous donuts to come in tomorrow. I do have a question. Are the pipe clamps at the front and rear of the engine still avaible/who would have them if you know off hand? Thanks again for your help. Jim Morgan 86GL "Breadbox" 207,000.0 Westlake,Ohio |
