Thanks. I changed oil tonight and saw that bracket. I have the hoist, the stand and all but FWD seems like a mess. I will take the bolts out one by one and spray carb cleaner on them and in the holes and try the RTV. It's worth a try. I looked at valve covers as well. Seems a big bracket by the coil packs in the way as well. They aren't easy to work on, are they?
