Thread: oily substance on SC gasket, snout side

okay, thanks scott and bill. i will take a few pics of the gasket change and leakage areas. and a few pics of the port job on my SC.

never got a chance to take pics, was in a hurry to get the car running again after it blew the rear head gasket(poor workmanship on engine reassembly by previous owner)
it broke down in my school parking lot at UTI thankfully. they my only time to work on it was a hour a day before class. it was up there for like 3 months, while i collected money and worked the heads at my machine shop, then reassembly.

got everything off and cleaning up, there was a crap load of leakage on the gasket as you can see.

I see two things here. That the gasket wasn't holding at the pcv and that was leaking oil across the gasket. It definately worked like a Bounty paper towel (at least if you believe the commercials). Looks to have seeped all the way around and the only place it was visible was at the snout, where the POS was the thinest.




Here we see that there is hardly any gasket under the snout based on the way it was cut. This likely led to some pressure pushing the oil outward in the snout area. My thoughts.. inferior gasket. Fel Pro MS95744
