Gallery gaskets at 136k
From this photo can you tell me if that upper gallery gasket looks blown out ? I’m regretting not doing those gaskets as I still have a cold start timing slap.. until there’s oil built up to the tensioners. Everywhere I’ve read is saying this is normal but it’s not.. I have not yet tested the oil pressure . I’ve put maybe 100 miles on since I did the timing and it’s running strong besides the initial timing rattle. Gallery gaskets are on the way I’m not using an oem oil filter, cheap Napa filter would that play a factor?? Thanks in advance
