If your having problems like that you just snug things up a bit, wait a few hrs then torque it down good.
It sat all week and I could not get but 55 in/lbs before it looks like it is going to blow. Do you think that will hold the gasket and seal it? I'd rather not fill it up with fluid if that doesn't sound like much of a seal.
Oh your rubber/cork gasket is trying to squeeze out ehy? Well I never used a TQ wrench, good hand tight is all I used, not a high pressure situation, not gonna blow off. I stopped once it start to squeeze out. I had that problem with my end seals on my intake, why everyone tosses em for just straight RTV. But I wanted to use em. Had to go real slow with em.
OK, so they are good where they are then. I'm gonna fill her with fluid and see if she springs a leak.
Well, it had a drop on the drain plug of the chrome B&M deep pan. I tightened it, wiped it off and put a bunch of newspaper under it to see if it is going to leak. I'm thinking I should have ditched the darned chrome pan 25 years ago but I wanted more fluid capacity. If this thing leaks again, I'm tossing it in the swap meet pile and putting a cast aluminum one on it. If it leaks it will be at Beech Bend in the middle of May if anyone needs a deep B&M chrome pan with the filter extension at Dan Duff's swap meet tent.
