Timing chain cover R&R
Hi Again this time its the timing chain cover R&R . The Reason is someone broke one of the Timing chain cover long bolts off and siliconed the broken bolt back in the hole, Imagine that ! So my question is I cant get a factory timing chain gasket set and I will probably have to do the oil pan Gasket also as they are all connected together SOOO I can get Fel pro or Mahale gaskets Has anyone used these gaskets and had good luck Or any other suggestions and any mods that need to be done.

I replaced my timing chain & gears back in 2011. I can't remember what brand gaskets I bought but I think it was Fel Pro. There was a groove on the harmonic balancer shaft too so I installed a repair sleeve on the balancer shaft. I replaced the rear main seal too which lessened the leak but did not completely stop it. The next time I have the oil pan off I will perform the "Rear Main Seal Oil Leak Fix with Bearing Cap Modification" posted in the Help section https://6364cadillac.ning.com/forum/topics/rear-main-seal-oil-leak-fix There is a preferred seal brand to use for that in the article.
Be careful with the bolts in the aluminum front cover, They do stick & break off fairly easily. Use penetrating oil, heat, etc on the stuck one. A replacement front cover is hard to find. Be sure to inspect the oil pump gears & housing for excessive scoring. Replace & resurface if necessary.
Good luck.

I have been using this for oil pans for about 10 years and it was recommend by a friend that was working for Toyota Racing team it is by far the best I have ever used I use it on everything now. I clean the surface with brake clean and then let the brake clean dry off and apply this . you can get it on amazon

Yes and yes. They are just threaded studs and do the 2 nut trick all the time to remove them.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
Vintage Air AC

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration
Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment 0 Likes
My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
