Who's got a good cheap regular exhaust recommendation.

 I take it you're getting out of the truck?

Still undecided.

I might try a regular exhaust ..... fix oil leaks and steering and go from there 

 

As always

Fair enough.  I figured you were looking for parts to return to stock prior to sale.  

I've never used that ebay exhaust.  Good luck!

Figure they are all just bent aluminium steel piping .......no point paying extra unless I want SS.

But obviously depends on bends and fitment being good.

 

Side note.

Oil leak looks like it's from behind the belt pulley to the right of the water pump somewhere.

No new exhaust yet.

Oil leak looks like it's coming from top of timing case .....right under water pump.

 

Obviously have to pull water pump and maybe fan pulley ...... ideas on what I'm looking for ? 

 

Loose timing case bolt ? Main seal ? Kdp ?

Pull the radiator, shroud and fan off to make life easier. Hopefully it's something simple

I had an oil leak 4 years ago about same place, I pulled my front head studs out, sprayed some good carb clean in the hole and cleaned oil out then squized some rtv in the hole and bunch on the stud and put it back in, let it seat over night so far no leaks. I belive there is an oil passage close to front stud.

this HTML class. Value is [URL=http://s1059.ph

 

Not sure why I can't post links from my phone.^^^ 

 

But pulled water pump .... no issues.

 Think it's just seeping past the timing cover .... so cleaned up and put a bunch of rtv along seam of each side ..

 

 

Will see.

 

Truck is listed for sale.

 

Will see on that too.

Bring that thing by in a few weekends and we can put a timing cover gasket and crank seal in it.
