Hey Brent, I met you at Bristol I was the guy covered in tattoos including my face and head, I’m a tattoo artist so that makes it ok. but anyway I came to Bristol specifically to meet you and Steve Morris I remember when Kyle put you on his video first time I’ve ever seen you. Crazy thing is you are the same person today. You have a pretty big following you have tons of awesome friends. But you haven’t changed from the first time I seen you.

Feel like this was done with intent. She sounds like she trusted the person she bought this from and that person took advantage of that. Probably over heating already and they thought they could get away with a quick fix while making it look legit by putting the only head gasket they had in there. The rtv was just to last the test drive. I thought it was weird when they took the valve cover off and the cylinder head look super clean with no oil.

I was working on a customers 1957 Thunderbird with a 312 Y block. Some dolt had done the same thing with strangely enough the same orange RTV on Fel Pro Permatorque gaskets which clearly state on the package USE NO SEALER. The engine was leaking coolant between the block and heads. I had the heads resurfaced, drilled both the block and heads with the additional holes prescribed in a 1960 Ford TSB (they werent called technical service bulletins back then) using a modern head gasket for a template. I saw a 272 in another customers 55 Crown Victoria with the same issue. Apparently , the same dolt rebuilt both, the scary part is that the particular dolt was reported to be an instructor at a tech school in this area.
