Congratulations! What do you think of it so far?

So far it’s been fun to drive although I think the power steering pump is getting weak as it’s pretty heavy. I will like it much better once I get this exhaust leak and oil leak from the valve cover fixed. It sounds like my ford tractor with this exhaust leak and that’s no good
 
The moment I believe quite a few people have waited for, it lives it has a oil leak and a exhaust leak but it made it on a 20 minute round trip this evening all seems to be ok
dope

wheres the oil leak at?
 
Valve cover gaskets I ordered a set of the blue rubber felpro gaskets. I got cork in the engine gasket kit but should’ve known better. I never had a issue with that style felpro on my 86 GN
never had cork leak. are the valve cover rails flat?
Either way, blue rubbers should seal fine.

Yeah they’re flat and i used all the correct factory hardware with them and I didn’t overtighten them but it’s both of them leaking although the passenger side is worse than the drivers.
