The tailpipes just look black. Don't see anything else.
The leak on the outside is pretty evident. It's just a few inches aft of distributor. You can see the brown stains there and the brown stains running down the side cover and block.
I went to Napa this afternoon to get the block tester kit and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. Went to CarQuest and they only had the fluid, no kit to go along with it.
I've been thinking for a while now about buying another 292 and rebuilding it. Since this is my daily driver, I'm wondering if retorquing the head and using that block sealer stuff would last temporarily until I got a rebuilt 292 to put in there. The old 292 would then get rebuilt and installed in my Pontiac.
Thoughts on this?
I forgot to mention that yesterday on my way to work I made a pit stop and she didn't want to start again, just cranked. Same thing happened today after stopping at CarQuest. Started fine on the cold starts. Is this another sympton of possible low compression and/or coolant in cylinders?
