Well, I rebuilt the master, honed it out as well as it will go, but a few small pits are still causing it to leak. I want to upgrade the brakes, so I will live with it for now (as I have the last 5 years) and upgrade later.
Rad is ready and so is the fuel tank (which was leaking and I dropped it and had it repaired right)
Question about break-in. I have a new valve cover gasket, but no sealant on it. I want to do the 20min @ 2000rpm break-in. I am assuming I will have to do some valve adjustments and don't want to waste a gasket. Can I leave it unglued for break-in and then run some sealant on the block side when it's done? Or will it make a big mess on my newly painted engine?
