  10. I noticed that about the Apache, especially the rear wheels and tires. They’re not even dirty. Thought that was really weird. I had not thought of that … bob
  11. Was thinking of using some Indian head with the brush but the bottle might be too old I got it a long time ago along with other tube types everything I have it old hopefully start on cleaning the valve covers after gym this morning
  12. Last time I needed it was on a ford timing chain cover over 20 years ago
  13. lol I don’t remember much about rough riding but atleast the one I had was a total lemon didn’t notice too many other guys that were having the sour luck I was having one of the guys on here said a while back that for some reason Volvo sends all thier junk to North America
  14. Was wondering what people are suggesting for valve cover sealers these days ???????…thanks bob
  15. Yeah, thanks Larry. That’s what I’m hoping. We had a lousy weather and I wasn’t feeling so good. I’ll be out there tomorrow trying to get the valve covers cleaned up and put them back on see what happens. I’m also going to tighten up that fuel leak. I had the same issue with a 180 naturally aspirated years ago. In a 62 F model The valve adjustment cured it. I was also poking around online and my fuel injectors are still available rebuilt 80 bucks apiece.
  16. and yes ,,,we have crummy weather here as well...bob
