Oil and Water

Yesterday I did the pan and some of the water hoses. The oil pan was missing 4 screws and every eyelet had been overtorqued, so i had to bang them back into flushness with the rest of the flange. The previous gasket had rotted and was leaking from all around, covering the entire front half of the undercarriage with oil. Nasty.

I replaced two of the water hoses, one going from the water neck to the intake manifold and the other, also going to the intake manifold but from the t that connects the block and the water pump. Both lines had gotten brittle and were seeping pretty badly, the one at the waterneck turned out to be one of the mystery leaks that dripped along the block. Some of the hoses on the motor still remain hacked.
