Hi everyone. Just some necessary maintenance jobs on the car:



Activate the English or French subtitles, as you need.

Oh man, that gasket was tired! Good thing you noticed it quickly, and it didn't lead to a fire. Do you have access to Rock Auto where you live? I usually have a "watch" for things that are discontinued or "clearanced." Most of the stuff on clearance is higher quality (original US, Canada, or Taiwan made) parts, and they're usually 1/10th the cost of everything else being sold So I usually snap up parts I think or know I'll need, just to make sure.

Nice seeing that GT on the track!!!

Yes, the gasket came from RockAuto.
I should have changed it when I did the last engine rebuild, as I had the subframe and the tank out.
But the gasket seemed good at the time? Obviously not!
No drag races soon, maybe a trackday in the spring?
We'll see...

I put up another video about the MAF sensor that died because of voltage spikes from the alternator.
The alternator that was replaced in my previous video
