how cooked am i?

how cooked am i?

I did notice a LOT of oil in the first cylinder spark plug well but i also noticed the gasket is really old and it was super brittle. i’ve replaced the valve cover gasket but im not sure if this is gonna cause me a problem again.

I’m assuming I might have to get another valve cover, or maybe i can invite my friend jb weld

I’m assuming it will because it’s basically the same motor but i can’t be too sure and i don’t wanna accidentally buy the wrong thing.

this is a little bit of the gas i just siphoned out of my tc that’s been sitting for a year. Now it smells like gasoline, looks like gasoline so i’m not sure if i should just leave it in there and attempt to start the car with this gas. Because if u guys have seen the gas prices in the US lol, id rather just keep this gas because i almost have a whole tank.

Just wondering, if anyone has actually bought one of these kits and they ended up working good.

hey guys, i am beyond excited and happy to say, i actually accomplished welding the tc back and having all the fitment and parts come out seamlessly! ive been dreaming of finally doing this for a year now and seeing it actually start to look like a car infront of me is unreal. this car is truly something special to me

now before the first start, what maintenance should i do?

i’m gonna do an oil change and drain the gas in there to refill it with some newer gas. is there a way to drain the gas in the car itself that’s in the fuel lines? because this tank of gas has been there for a year now and i don’t want to cause internal damage.

I have also had to drop a tiny bit of oil down the cylinder walls to get it reseal in my eclipse when it was down, should I do the same for the tc?

before the crash, the car ran beautifully and i had no problems.
