While you are there, might as well...

My rig has been leaking oil progressively worse ever since I put my timing gear in a couple years ago.
I put a new gasket on my oil pan when I replaced it and ever since then it's been leaking. A few months ago I tried to cure the problem again by putting a new gasket on the oil pan when I did my C4 upgrade.
That did not seem to help either. While driving around this weekend I made it just about home and I heard a nasty clickety-clack clickety-clack that seemed worse as the RPMs increased.
Well, when I got home I left it running and looked under the truck and I could physically see my mechanical fuel pump rocking back-and-forth. 1 of the fuel pump bolts (I over tightened) had stripped out the timing chain cover.
Bingo, I found my oil leak!!! I also had a very small oil leak coming out of the front valley of my intake so while I was there I decided I might as well replace that as well.
I have a couple of other things lying around that I've been saving for just such an occasion.
Stay tuned...
