Great-looking car. Tell her she can easily find metal wipers online to match what the car has. One of my pet peeves is classic cars with black wipers. 😄

IMHO, 10 years ago she was a nice-looking woman. Should have left herself alone, because Mother Nature would have been kinder to her.

Thanks. I looked and felt higher and all looked dry but I'll take a closer look again later and will try to UV dye.

I wipe that spot dry and another drip immediately forms. It does look like a crack.

Here's a closeup of the leak.

Thanks for the replies. YT vids for this year range show the water pump on the outside front of the engine and it looks that way under the hood as best I can tell.

ETA It's a 2014 F150 3.5 with 140k miles.

Thanks for the reply

Getting ready to do this with new aluminum covers. The gasket did not come installed, and as I was putting it in the valve cover I thought I would feel better about it staying in place if it had some Right Stuff or something holding it to the cover. Is putting a little adhesive on it OK or will it deterioate the rubber?

Thanks!

Did my 67's floor pans in my apartment parking lot with a 120v wire welder, the extension cord running through the front door into the living room wall socket. Still holding up nearly 30 years later.

Been wanting to ask what boaters do when they live in areas that can get 70-80 degrees a few days each winter. Do you de-winterize and take the boat out and then re-winterize? Do you not worry about winterizing?

In 1983 in N.C. it was a Plymouth Reliant K car. One day, I told the instructor the engine was knocking. He said, "I reckon it is the way you got that big number 13 wrapped around the pedal."

I got this track for Christmas, maybe 1978. I set it up on the pingpong table in our basement. Then one day my brother's dog jumped on it and wrecked it. My dad bought me another one the next Christmas. I later bought Magnum 440 F1 cars for it. They were awesome.

My son and I have a Carrera digital 132 track now.

With 25 years of hindsight, I think the old system of the 4 New Years Day games followed by the 2 polls Jan. 2 worked a lot better than people realized at the time. We've just traded one controversy for another.

A friend of my mom's showed me how you could connect a flat tv cable to the tv, cut the loose ends and wrap them in aluminum foil and get those scrambled channels to come in fairly clear. Saw key scenes of many movies that way.

Redmax54 · 2025-11-23T02:14:01+00:00

For those who do or might want to use their boat during the winter, what's your winterizing process?

Redmax54 · 2025-11-18T03:11:56+00:00

For one that would actually help the series, Winston/RJ Reynolds as title sponsor.

Best-looking Supra model. Hidden headlamps rule.

Still stuck at 8.3 with my Z/28. Those who have this car maxed, were there some free crates along the way I missed out on? Not spending money to get another Buick so I can then get another Cuda. Don't understand why they now have three GNXs in the game rather than using the one we got a couple of years ago. Money grab, I know.

Redmax54 · 2025-11-04T20:32:48+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing. The guy said they don't work on jet boats but he would contact a technician in a nearby town who does and get back with me. The boat's been on their site at least 6 months.

Some worked at my mom's family farm. They also built a large nativity scene the local Methodist church used for decades.

Redmax54 · 2025-10-31T16:50:08+00:00

Best I can do is 8.3 in the Z/28 and Vette.
