I use acetone to clean all metal to insure no oil is left and a good bond


YEP, me too.

The bolt Idea with the washers sounds like a possibility, I'll try it with some sealent. How do you think the altinator went bad by just sitting for a month? Could antifreeze kill it? I didn't have the Idiot lights before I parked it, now I have two of them.

I'll try sealing up the area between the cover & head to see if that will fix the leaking problem up top. How do you suggest to clean the areas so the sealent will stick?
