- '93 Sport
alright my fellow greasy-handed, stiff-necked friends (those are terms of endearment, not insults ), my '93 sport is dropping oil. I put a new motor in it last winter (a re-build, still under warranty), ran regular oil for the break-in period, and switched to Mobil 1 after about 1200 miles (being safe, I'd heard that putting synthetic in a spankin' new motor caused big problems down the line). soooo, now my valve cover gaskets appear to be leaking. I know, I know, synthetics just seem to find holes that weren't there before... but I'm not ready to live with a motor that's only 10k old and already spits oil all over the driveway. my question is: who among you has had the no-doubt arduous experience of replacing the valve cover gaskets on the old OHV 4.0L, and precisely how big of a pain in my butt is this going to be? looks like I'll need to take off the upper intake man. to get them out... pretty straightforeward looking job, but I've learned that in our tiny engine compartments, nothing is as it seems
any help would, uh, help
