So trying to get bunch oil leaks fixed! This thing got lots……valve covers, dipstick tube, etc , etc!!!
My dipstick tube has oring gone where tube slips into block and leaking lots. (I assume it uses an oring around end of tube?????)
I got my oring kit out and tried several but they either too big & no fit or it too small and breaks, even greased up.
I remember yrs ago on another 7.3 I had a leaker tube. I slipped oring on it, eased it into block hole and it slipped in and quit leaking. Easy to do. This one giving me trouble.
I assume it is an oring supposed go there? Anybody got a thought or answer?
Other question…… what kind valve cover gaskets best to use? Cork or other kind?
I got lots to do on this thing next week or so…… thermostat, several oil leaks, swap IP & injectors, etc etc
Need go up Lounge and say this and let off steam. But just trying stay busy. Me and Carol bout to lose another son. (49 yr old & on dialysis & it’s no working) (lost another son last yr, been ruff)
