Final Engine Bay Check & Hood Setup

how's it working in here it sucks i know it does i'm very proud of you this is like a year old gum that you left here it's year old gunk on top of years old gunk because the this thing made oil goo from day one i could never figure out why still really don't yeah kind of fixed a lot of that part of the reason is the valve covers used to just dump breathers just don't blow at the inner fender which wasn't good but we fixed that now it has actual catch cans that are down here on both sides made those but uh the valve covers are leaking or one of them was so it was the oil was going into the valley and then running down and everywhere yeah yeah it sucked this side is completely disgusting it must have been the side where it ended up trickling down to definitely i mean it was even in the like the intercooler in here yeah i don't know sitting inside they're like pulled up i don't know how it got there that's the thing because i thought i suspected for all the power steering was leaking too but i added more fluid to it and i never saw it like leak anymore so i i don't know if it does leak we'll figure that out now that we know the valve cover is handled if it's leaking somewhere else we can narrow that down too i think there may have been multiple sources at one time another tech tip here on these this era of gm truck you can just unbolt the hood hinge spring thing here take the bolt from it and there's a perfect little groove right in the back of the latch where you can stand the hood straight up put the bolt in there and hold it up for you so you don't actually have to unbolt the do stuff super convenient i'm gonna finish getting this torqued up and uh wheel the cherry picker over here and pick this thing up
