Mine was not bad. Rust outside but not in. I rebuilt it with a kit I forms on line - vendor escapes me at the moment - but I could not get the one plug to seal so I replaced it with a unit off Amazon. Similar to the one classic industries sells but in brass. Same port positions but needed to...

I had new quarter skins but the valence was a touched up original (from another car) - my tweaking was mostly on the quarter and yes it needed a good bit

I stripped the anodizing off mine and polished the aluminum. Looks good but not as shiny as anodized. But better than it was

Once my 360 is broken in, I was planning to use Castrol Edge 5W50 which I read on a Vette forum is considered a high zinc oil. I have been using it for years in my '85 2.2 Turbo (also considered flat tappet with its cam followers non roller) and it has done great no cam wear, no wear on the...

Spray adhesive? Just make sure the windows Are open and mask the bottom

I found some SS on ebay. Worked great but front and back only. Bolts for the middle 6

Thanks for the reply. Good news is I have a friend with a machine shop so I think I'll try that route if I cannot modify myself

Sorry to bring back an old thread - but this is exactly the issue I am having. SDChallenger did you find a solution? That Dorman number is only 1/2 " deep overall from their specs. I am contemplating buying that now infamous grommet set and seeing if I can modify the old valve covers to fit.

I tried the rebuild kit from MCR - worked ok but in the end I just could not get the proportioning valve plug near the bottom to seal. Tried several things - less / more tight - sourced (100) new o-rings - still slow leak when installed. I finally decided to swap it out for a unit I found on...
