In my effort to replace push rod tubes and manifold studs;
While taking off my tins I had no problem with the screws, except the two on the cylinder head behind the oil cooler. Both pan head screws are in tight, to the point that I snapped on off and the other is pretty well destroyed. These are the two that are down next to the intake manifold. Several days of soaking with penetrant and even a little heat, still no luck. I also noticed that when I took the valve cover off on that side that there was a pretty strong odor that I didn't get when I took the valve cover off on the other side. Plus, the gasket on the smelly side was very "gummy". It seems to me that this is heat related and most likely that side of the engine is getting too hot. What would be causing this? Is it common? Before I put the engine back together and back into the car I'd like to resolve whatever the problem is. The car is a 71 1.8 and has 91,000 miles and I'm pretty sure its never been apart. I've never driven the car but it did run and seemed to run well. TIA. Steve |
