DOHCRagtopguy Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 Well, I think I can pronounce this a success. Over the weekend I took apart the manifolds and used an old Chevy distributor gasket. Sliced it to fit, used some hi-temp silicone after cleaning it several times with Brakleen and sealed it all up. Allowed it to cure for 36 hours. Re assembled and finished up Monday morning. Wife has been driving it around all week, absolutely no leaks at all! Hooray, no more oil puddles on the driveway! Just wanted to share my happiness. The one in my Olds is still not leaking. Now, if I can fix her driver's side power window, she'll be set! Quote
Slade901 Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 That's good hear With regards to power window. I've fixed the power window motor/gear on our 1994 Pontiac Grand Am. It has some gear missing and so we have to help the window down or up when trying to lower or raise the window. I've drilled out the rivets that the hold the motor/gear of the power window but since I did not have the larger rivet gun, I've used 1/4 size bolt (1") and nuts with lock washer and thread lock compound to put the new motor/gear. It held in place pretty good. Quote
DOHCRagtopguy Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Posted June 6, 2003 I think it's either the switch or malfunctioning motor with her window. I have to pull the door panel off and get in there with my test light to check it out. When I get time. Right now, I'm trying to get my outside yard work done on the few non-rainy days we have here on the east coast. I can't remember ever having such rotten weather so much. It's like the winter weather patterns never left! Quote
