I had the Valley cover start leaking after my cars long winter nap!
It showed up under hard runs when I had my brother out for his first ride.
I discovered that it was leaking out the front block area, so I took things apart, cleaned and re-glued it back together.
After this, I wanted to get on it a little bit so I went out for a quick spin. I didn't want to push it hard, but just enough to see if the leak was fixed!
I gave it just over half throttle or so after I did the foot brake thing. I didn't want to spin the tires all to hell, so I didn't come up on the converter to much either... So with that said, here it is short shifting going up to third gear and letting back off. I kicked up a rock from the stone quary just after I let off the gas.... You'll hear it wack the wheel well!

I was worried about loosing to much oil and hurting things.... It had a pretty good amount on top of the pan before I sealed it back up. I will get a new video "hopefully this weekend" and put it on youtube. It's hard to keep traction on the country roads when I bring the RPM up and stuff the pedal to the floor! I had it spinning through second and she darted on me going to third one day... I just about **** myself... Lol!!!! I loosened up the front torsion bars, so maybe that will help with the tire spin, but I think a good burnout and a real launch pad at the strip will solve most of the traction issues I have.:thinker:
 
It sounds pretty damn good...
 
Thanks! I might get to take it out Sunday and capture a video with my foot all the way into it! Depends on if I can get all the things done around the house in time.... Lawmower front tire has bad valve stem, it needs removed and repaired, the grass needs mowed, the car needs brakes bleed before any more hard runs..... We'll see how much I get done...
