Turns out the gaskets were never the problem... Not sure if I did this or if they were like that when I bought them on craigslist. In any event, I've got a new set of fabricated aluminum covers that should work great.
Any recommendations on a set of big block valve covers that ACTUALLY seal against a pair of Eddie heads? My M/T are just not up to the task. Even with the good rubber Moroso gaskets.
I love posting these before & after shots. Nothing good ole fashion Pinesole and scotch brite pads couldnt handle. Soaked them for 24 hours and then spent a good 3 hours scrubbing. I think they came out great.
After identifying the issue with the Speedmaster roller rockers, I took them to a buddy who runs his own shop. To my surprise, he mentioned this was quite common. He's going to take some photos and measurements and report back to SM. Big thanks to @JonnyMopar for hooking me up with a set of original rocker arms. Project War Wagon is almost back on the street 🤙
I, personally, dont think it looks too bad for a flat tappet camshaft break-in. This is WITH the filter magnet on as well. No large pieces or chunks. Just fine dust. Rest of the oil looked fairly clean coming from the pan. No metal sludge found on the drain plug either.
I can't tell you all how many times I've dreamt of this moment. 11 years ago I was successfully able to buy back the 1969 Plymouth Barracuda previously owned by my great grandmother, grandfather, and dad.
It had been lost since 1989.
Since recovering the car back in 2014, I have gone through every aspect of the fish and turned it into the baddest hotrod possible - only took 11 years 😅. While I've been recording every step of the way, it was always done with anticipation of this video. The Grand Reveal. I hope you all enjoy the video as much as I did filming it. Its a memory I'll keep for the rest of my life.
The next video I release will arguably be the most impactful moment of my automotive career. I'm towing my great-grandmother's '69 Barracuda 1300 miles away to conduct it's big reveal to the previous 2 owners - my father and grandfather. The video will likely be ready the first week of December so, stay tuned! I'm so excited to finally make this dream come true! 😁
Here's a sneak peek of the new wheel setup I decided to go with for the big day.
