I take that back, I looked again and theres wet oil down the entire passenger side of the block. Mainly behind the dizzy and oil pressure adapter. I know I need to do the valve cover but im getting actual drips down the clean pan from the dizzy/OFA area.

What is the proper way to remove the distributer without messing the timing up to replace the gasket?

Mine leaks in the same area just above the block ID numbers at the head gasket. It leaks very little and I just came to the conclusion that I will have to keep it wiped off as much of a clean freak as I am !! Not sure why it is leaking and at this point talked myself into not caring !! No coolant in the oil and runs like a champ !!!!!!!!!!!!I'll just carry a rag !!

Those things have to be exspensive as hell. That's all I can think about when I see tires that big.

If I hit the lottery I'd totally buy one just to keep in the front yard. Or make it a tire swing.

What tree would hold that thing. You would have to make a steel structure

A giant redwood? Obviously it was a joke. Giant steel strutcure would work. Guiness book? Worlds biggest tire swing? I thinks so.
