Whats up guys,
I saw sorebacks post on replacing the passenger side valve cover gasket and figured i might as well change mine too (it's leaking, bad) but its my drivers side. It rattled a bolt out, should i just replace that or do you think the journal created from that bolt missing is too wide? Is this really easy? Would i run into any obstacles? I got a Chiltons manual but figured i'd reference you guys first. Also, My trucks a five speed 91 F with a Five 0, in nuetral with the break off it barley rolls back in a slight slope, others cars roll back effortlessly. I have no idea as to why it doesnt, could wheel bearings do this? It squeaks rather loud when it tries. While Im at it, my throwout bearing is going, and fast. It shreads itself every time i hit the clutch, someitimes the truck will die at idle if i hit the clutch, but its gotten better. I limp it around knowing my flywheel is all grooved up. Could my flywheel have kinda resufaced itself in a way, over time making it smoother? What else is gonna go wrong if i keep postponing the clutch change? Is this hurting my trannys internals? Sorry, realize this is long. THanks.

sounds like you've got a mess in your bellhousing, if you like having wheels i'd reccomend tearing it apart and find out what's going on inside there.
