Well gave my spare away because I thought the one on my car was perfect. Pulled it out of storage to restore and on the lift I see it’s distorted, like they hit a basketball pole. So looking for something local let me know what you got. 

The short hose attached to the pipe that runs to the turbo from thermostat housing is melted and hardened at the pipe. Does it have a part number? It appears formed, maybe because it’s hard. It will need to be cut and scraped off.

I recently purchased my first Starquest, an 87 Starion; non running of course. I've taken my time to make sure things are properly sorted. The previous owner(s) hacked some wires, cut a whole in the rear for the fuel pump, and did some other dodgy stuff. I seem to have sorted it all out and started the car for the first time last night. It seems to run pretty smooth, but it does have a pretty massive oil leak from the rear of the head. (see the post in the other section) I'm not new to buil

I've read a few threads talking about various oil leaks and how to track each one down. I've got on that appears to be coming from the back of the head. It's pretty severe and it doesn't quite make sense how it could be that bad. Is there a "trick" to getting the valve cover gasket to seal? Is there something else that commonly causes the leak from that area? Is there something more that I can do besides RTV and tightening down the single bolt on the rear? (silly design) It's a brand new gasket
