So the Bolts I bought are hardened and don't stretch. OK...
Was it worth it to buy them, then ?
Are they likely to break more easily ?
So far everything is going fine.
The engine still has a slow oil leak - but not from the valve cover.
I will re-tighten the pan bolts when I can get at them...
Engine is noisy - as always.
Either the Fan Belt, the Water Pump or the Alternator makes a lot of noise.
Crvett69 suggested I take off the Fan Belt and run the engine for a minute
to see if it is any of those I just mentioned.
Again, will try that when I get the time.
It is so nice to get back to my little Metro and get 45 - 50 mpg !
