Newbie Check-in and Question

I set the crank to top dead center, and confirmed it with the rotor, but I didn’t mark the bottom of the distributor so I’ll probably have to redo the timing when put it back. Another thing to learn (sigh).

I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this manifold has been removed before judging by the sloppy RTV work.

That doesn’t look good. Corrosion by the front coolant ports. Thoughts?

They'll be able to clean it or check for cracks at the machine shop. Especially if there was water in the system before you pulled it. My dad use to pour water in our radiator. Never knew better but know days I wish he would of just drained the system and refill it with coolant. When I do something with my block I want to see if theres any cracks. Hoping not. But after 425kmiles wouldnt surprise me especially with the internal walls having some corrosion

I remember having a bit pitting on mine as well, but not this bad. Can you overlay the gasket to see where the rubber part is in relation to pitting?

Probably add a bit RTV sealant at this spot? It's probably not a big deal...

 

[karitoki]

I was thinking about laying down gasket material after cleaning really good, then level it off with a razor blade.

Ordered the MPFI from rock auto. Look how nasty the stock ones are.

Was that gasket the all-plastic one? It looks like it. I hope you ordered the Felpro #MS 98000 T and not the #MS 90131...

This is the bolt on the back of the passenger side manifold that holds the bracket that supports the cable bundle and shares mounting with the ignition coil. The mounting not is 5/8ths and the outer nut that secures that bracket and a ground is 15mm. Can’t make this up!

That 5/8 is probably a 16mm. They're very close. 16mm does show up occasionally on GM s.
