Had a recent new oil leak sourced to be $5 timing chain seal. While in there we got new aluminum oil pan installed VR1 for decades switched back to Castrol (7 &1/4 qrts GTX Classic 20/50w) vs 5&3/4 qrts with old pan.

GoodParts new double lip seal, timing gear/double chain, oil pump & harmonic balancer since old had been in there since '90 rebuild 262,890 miles ago, new fan belt, water pump, wires, plugs, copper dizzy cap, red rotor timing/idle set drain/fill radiator, tranny, diff, bleed brakes & lines that test drive after couple weeks on jacks😁

Tracy says he could hear the difference once engine was running I could feel immediate response/pep power to the wheel to the road vs prior slightest hesitation/lag. De-fingerprinting today for Tuesday's 4 hr Drive!
