Yes i know. That's why i came up with the theory that the first owner of the car had the valley pan replaced but this did not fix the leak. Then his mechanic told him this is something bigger and he decided to park the car. A Couple decades later someone else sold the car to me either knowing...

Unfortunately i threw it away but YES i do have a picture: My Gallery — Postimages

Even those made pre 72 ? Never had a car with aluminum heads pre 72 so idk.

Was going ŧo say this!

So meanwhile the new NOS gaskets arrived and yesterday we redid the job. Same story. It held up for about 30-40miles and then started leaking again. Pretty bad and on both sides. I can almost kill the engine spraying carburetor cleaner along the left or right side of the intake manifold. This...

Idk. but 40k for a paint job sounds like straight up THIEVERY to me.

I did some more research and it almost looks like that the type of "RTV" that we used is NOT suitable for this application (Elring Dirko HT ProfiPress). I will order another NOS valley pan gasket and once its back apart i will check the cylinder head mounting surfaces with a straight edge. I...

No. How would i know the fitment is correct? Also in your Picture there is no RTV on the china wall portion of the valley pan. Don't you use RTV there or did you put it on after taking the picture?

I don't know that. It would surprise me but at this point also not that much. But what do you do in this case i mean taking something off the manifold just makes this worse i assume? The case against this is that i own the car for 5 years now and while i have not been driving nearly as much as...

Today i'm in the mood to sink the car into a lake... :D Started it up cold and it idled BEAUTIFULLY and was definitely not leaking anymore. But just about 30 miles later it AGAIN started to leak... We then re-tightened the intake manifold bolts even a little bit tighter than what the factory...

So today we finally re-did the job. Car is back together, now we let it sit overnight for the RTV to cure and then tomorrow we will see if this time was a success or not. For all the people that think we are to stupid to change a gasket here are a couple pictures what the intake manifold...

Well we noticed it but we assumed the poor fit was normal and tried to make the best out of it. I still don't know if the old manifold is warped or not. But i hopefully will within a couple days... I originally ordered 2 gaskets from 2 different companies but ended up getting 2 similar...

I think we found the problem today. Just take a look at the fitment of this NOS vs. New "Made in the USA" Fel-Pro Gasket: More (Detailed) Pictures: Album — Postimages Not only is the fitment of the new fel-pro gasket really POOR, its also noticeably lighter and thinner. In the next few...

It's in Bavaria: Gunzenhausen - Wikipedia Yeah i'm not complaining. My car also has AC and Cruise Control - both options not available with the 426 Hemi Engine. Both have pros and cons.

Add no power brakes to the list but i like green. Mines green as well but unfortunately it does not have a hemi.

Today i went to the US Car Show in Gunzenhausen Germany. I was really surprised when a real 69 hemi charger pulled up. First time i've seen a car of this league at a show here in germany. We talked to the owner who also opened the hood and it looks really nice under there aswell down to the...

I agree with the others. If this was a survivor car in good shape i would definitely keep the original 318. But since this car needs a full restoration i would also upgrade the engine. I would put in a 426 Hemi or a Hellcat Crate Engine if it had to be modern. This would make it a 6 figure car...

Yes i did and it currently only reads 15". From what i've been told 17-18" would be normal.

Obviously this would be the right thing to do in general. The problem is i need to have this done in 1-2 days i cannot have the car in a non running state for longer than that. Hence why i want to buy a spare manifold. I want to have it in case i need it and i also wouldn't mind having one on...

Thanks for all the information, appreciate it! I have no idea. The car is currently in storage but i will take a look when i have a chance. Yes of course. No. Actually i did this together with a retired opel mechanic who also used to work on the diplomats which had chevrolet smallblock...
