Re: Manifold Gland Rings
New exhaust manifold..use the rings. Old manifold..maybe not. Particularly if it has been milled, etc. The engine block side will be deep enough, old manifold, maybe not.

Re: Oil pump replacement gears
The oil pump is a simple displacement pump...not a pressure pump. Only lifts oil about 6 inches. If the gears fit well and not bind, I would think all should be good?

Re: Happy 90 years old 6/18/29 firewall cars.
Yeah, some folks just dont know...not aware or even worldly, out side of their own little world of limited experience, knowledge, and education, or lack thereof.

Re: 32 4cyl. Exhaust Gasket leak running rough

Re: Oil on Spark Plug
No oil passages in the head or on top of the block. Likely (IF) you have a problem it's going to be a ring problem or possibly worn/loose intake valve guide IMO. Do like others have said and just run...
