Leaks...and options..

[kawahonda]

Drivers side done.

This is a shitty job.

Much easier with a lift...

Passengers side done.

Some plugs aren't pretty, but they are in.

Letting it sit overnight before filling up.

Would be interesting to measure how much I'm leaking after this 8 hour job!

Rule of thumb: if you can pop out the old plugs, then you can install the new ones. It just may not be pretty.

Congrats , That should buy you some time , I would look for a 87-92 360 roller block &work on slowly building that up to replace this down the road , try to get the 308 swirl heads also

This baby is staying a 340....

So far, so good. Started to get an oil drip more than usual. I found that the oil pan was snug, but not tight. Maybe 5-7ft lbs at best on average. Snugged then all to 15ft lbs.

Not a damn sign of coolant in 3 hours.

 :clapping:Yee-haw!

LEAK. COME ON. LEAK!

4 hours so far.

I highly doubt I solved 100% of it....

After 4.5 hours, I get one drop of coolant. This time, no oil mixed. Yep, rear freeze plug. It's a pretty slow leak that will bide me time.

No doubt the sinister leak is solved. Well worth time and effort!

I would think about a 7-lbs radiator cap.

24 hours later. At least it's dripping from one spot now, bell housing.

Rear main and rear plugs!

Man: That would p%*^ me off.
I remember backing the orange Challenger out of the garage and spotting a drop of oil on the floor from the valve cover a couple of years ago. Told my wife we were taking the Coronet instead and drove the sunofagun right back in and had to tear it apart and fix it before I would drive it.

69 hours.

It's bad, but it isn't terrible is my take....improved.

In-fact, I was pretty successful in reducing the amount of coolant. There appears to be just as much oil as coolant.

This is exactly where I anticipated the repair being. Manageable.

Bought some time at least .

Glad to hear you are enjoying your ride and not letting these leaks drive you nuts.  now that you've spent so much time on the leaks you're going to have to drive the car a bunch to get back to your 98% driving ratio.
