Pretty common issue while its nice to have ones in better shape RTV around those areas should seal it with no issues. Thats what I usually do in hose areas when there like that

Engine assembly...
The next best thing to a new engine start-up.;)
It's pretty common to find the aluminum parts pitted a little. Your's aren't bad at all. As already stated, a smear of RTV on those gasket surfaces and the patient will be fine.

My son put the heads on for me, are the holes for the bolts blind holes,we bought arp headbolts 154-3601 and he followed the instrutions that came with the bolts.I was just woundering.I no some bolts some time need sealent instead of lub when going into a water jaket.This is the cam they put in they said it should give me the torque down low in the rpm.

Looking good. Mine is slowly coming together. Hope it looks as good when its finished, before it gets thrashed on the trail and gets stained with dirt. Maybe I need dirt colored paint...

Got motor in was not fun but its in,start next with trans and tranfercase.besides the motor mounts being off,the new dipstick was a pain the new pan puts it on the driver side close to the back and with the new shorty headers,I had no room to go between the header,so I ended up out side the header an up.Who would think a dipstick would be a mayger pain!!!!

I had a fit with dipstick interfering with BC shorties on my old 351w. I eventually got the Milodon SS stick but would only work underneath the power brake booster. I wish they made these dipsticks a lil longer so it would be easier to chk. I also needed 45-90 degree spark plugs wires, straight ones touched the tubes and burned up even with boots on.

You can order Lokar sticks any length you want.
