Glad to know it worked! You probably had some tiny capillary leak in the timing cover - overall, no big deal and the perfect application for a stop leak product. I'd feel bad using one too, but even...

When I get electric fans, I plan on going with the Flex-A-Lite #295 116524. The reviews on them are generally good, and HWYSTR used them as well on his 2nd gen and stated they were very powerful....

I used Optimum Gray on both times I tried paper gaskets and it weeped. I doubt it was the different kind of RTV I used, so I guess maybe my mating surfaces have too much pitting? Didn't look like it...

Used both. The butler gasket wicked, too. Not sure what it is about the thermostat housing gaskets.

An engine will run with those compression levels, but it's pretty tired. What is good is that the compression is relatively even and barely makes the within-10-percent deifference rule, so that's a...
