All that work out in the desert, what are you using for shade when you pick your photo-taking spots? Something on the vehicle now?

I just posted this

It would be real easy to attach an awning to the vehicle, roll the extended poles and ropes etc up in it, get to a location and unroll and erect a shade in just a couple minutes. Very minimal cost and effort.

Raceday is usually shoot and move to the next spot in a hurry or a hike in. The only time I would think about setting something up would be camping before or after. I like what you did and the price is right!

wow, I opened the home page, saw the photo of Dr. Glass, and thought I was on a different site. Thanks to Chris for doing that. Michael DeHaas is an amazing person!

I found a coolant leak at the rear of the motor. It's dripping out of the clutch inspection cover. Any ideas? Freeze plug? :squint:

Intake?

Is the back of the intake/heads dry?

I will check. Is that common? I searched the interwebz but did not find anything.

 

[Seabass]

Yes. It's common. I've had trouble with both my 460, and the old 351. Just a gasket.

I can't see any fluid other than what's leaking out of the slot in the transmission cover?

I have a prerunner, it has to go. 2wd is fun if you have momentum. The minute you stop.... The FORD goes everywhere in 2wd but I won't go out in the desert without 4x4 anymore.

The 351 would leak out the back of the intake and down behind the driver side cylinder head and drip off the trans cover. I could easily see it once I pulled the engine. The 460 was starting to leak there and got noticed while on the engine stand. That's when the decision was made to just re-seal the entire engine. I'm not saying that your intake gasket is leaking.....but it's worth giving it a good look.
