Thanks for the warm welcome back guys. It's nice to have something to have a car to work on and fix up again. I didn't get as far as I would have liked to tonight with the valve cover, but we did successfully weld the crack. The previous owner tried to seal the crack using rtv which not only didn't work, but also caused a ton of extra work for me cleaning the vc before we were able to weld the crack. The weld is nothing too pretty, but it covers the crack and hopefully will stop the oil leakage. I plan on sandblasting the vc at work on monday and powdercoating it myself.

And goodhart, I'd much rather get rid of all this "Mr." mumbo jumbo and stick with HiImBrian ;)

Finally, somebody that sees where I'm coming from haha! Interior is surprisingly in much better shape which is nice.

I tig welded up the crack and I think that should solve my leaky vc problem. I figured since the vc was off that I might as well powdercoat it too.

Thanks Brad.

Funny story: I went into Autozone here in Fargo to replace the pvc since mine was a little sticky and $4 later I was driving home with my new pcv valve. Once I got home I gave er the ol suck n blow only to find that it didn't have a good seal. Well, I don't need a crappy pcv, so I brough it back and the Fonzie lookin guy there basically thought I was an idiot for thinking that a pcv is a one-way valve. He figured since he could hear the little ball shake back and forth that it was good. Anyways, I was able to shoot some degreaser in my pcv and it works like a boss now. the end.
