[VAC] Re: Smoke & Tears

[Bob Kiger <myairstream@xxxxxxxx>]

I am 75% convinced that the problem is the bent old valve
covers.  So far two professionals have replaced the gaskets yet the
smoke proceeds.  I wish one of them would just have told me to get
new valve covers.

I would rather invest in new valve covers than try to pound out those old
buggers.  This has been so frustrating.  Today I drove about 15
miles with my interior bonnet open.  I could see the smoke emanating
from the manifold but it gets pretty murky because the fan is quickly
dissipating the smoke.

I'm going to see if I can locate heavy duty valve covers and gaskets for
the 351W.
If anyone knows a source . . .
Thanks,
Bob
