take it apart first ..I strongly suggest. that way you will know exactly what's what when you go to get parts. if there is a lot of corrosion... 2 things come to mind... start spraying exhuast nuts/ studs with penetrating oil right away .. and frequently. they secure the upper taps ( they'll work just fine with only one upper tab btw ) and get badly, badly rusted in my experience. possible rusted-through pushrod tube if you live in that kind of environment. always LOOKS and examine and diagnose first.. then get after parts. Way mo' betta.

But a lot of oil is pouring out. Haven't had a chance yet to remove that shield, but what could be under that side that could leak that badly. > Need to order parts! > > John > >
