Alternator bracket gasket update:
Nothing quite like a dose of false confidence!
OMG... I ran out of four letter words within the first 15 minutes of reaching in trying to get the freakin oil cooler lines off!
So after 6 hours, WAY to much cussing and throwing shit... it is finally done!
I TOTALLY see what you guys mean by calling it “the devil gasket” - I’m a grown ass man and there was one point where I thought that I might make more progress by just collapsing on the garage floor and crying out loud for an hour or so - it was a TERRIBLE thing that I will absolutely give the car away before I ever do it again - and that is no lie!
Now that I’ve closed that miserable chapter in my life - it’s time to finish the valve stem seals and put the top of the engine back together [emoji106]
(After getting totally shot faced tonight of course! - those VSS can wait until sun up after the day I’ve had.)
