What end clamps? Picture would be highly appreciated.
Are you talking about the clamps that hold on the valley pan gasket? (edit) I think I got what you mean. The metal portion does not need to be replaced, only the rubber seals that the clamp puts pressure on |
Yes. The valley pan gasket clamps.

Excellent that's saved about 20 bucks at the parts store

The valve cover bolts should be 12 point 8mm I believe.
My last head gasket, two weeks ago, cost me less than $500. You dont need to reman pr take your heads to tha machine shop. Check them. |
Well unfortunately time ran out today. I got the new water pump in, everything disconnected and unbolted. Now I have to wait till Friday for the gaskets. I have to say though, the lower manifold bolts were MAYBE alittle more than hand tight, is it safe to maybe use some loctite? |

IIRC lower intake manifold torque is 38 ft lb in a star pattern from middle out. blue medium strength loctite is welcome and basically any bolt except low torque bolts ie aircon compressor, or alternator which I usually put antiseize I mentioned remanded heads as machine shops (at least by me) take st shortest a week to get something done. Remanned heads can be mailed in within a day, with all new guides, and a good flat machines surface. it looks nice as well if you’re one that keeps their Rover looking fresh. |
Well today I'm going to clean up the old girl. Is there anything I should be looking for when I pop off the valve covers? |
Well I suppose the worst would be coolant mixed oil on top of the heads..
|
True, good thing this weekend I was going to change the oil!
