WE DID IT! All of Our V8 Valve Stem Seals are Replaced on Our Vintage 1965 Clark Cortez Motorhome!

After tons of hours of hard work and many visits to the Cortez, Andy and I have finally finished replacing our 1965 Clark Cortez motorhome's V8 engine's valve stem seals! Undoubtedly, this was a long and bumpy road—replacing valve stem seals is the most intricate engine job mechanics can do—and while we still had some hiccups working on our engine's right bank, we were able to move forward and finish the task. What all of this means is Andy and I are celebrating our huge accomplishment ... and also thinking about the next jobs needed on our steel beast. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss our restoration series because our antique RV is set for major improvements by the time we are done!

✧ About us ✧
Hi, ya'll! I'm L, the writer, photographer, and editor behind Soul of a Seeker. By now you will have met my Englishman, Andy, who is also the illustrator of our stories. We met in search of a hiking and backpacking partner when he came to America for a six-month work placement. During those first talks all the way to now, we have focused on two dreams: mine, to travel and his, to restore an old vehicle.
Saying our dreams aloud somehow blurred them together and that is when the idea of overhauling an old motorhome came to be. Here, we threw our wedding funds into an online bid for a rare 1965 Clark Cortez RV . . . and we won this historic relic. The motorhome was the first RV made in America with front-wheel drive, making it snatched up by NASA and the Air Force. (For more history on this unique vehicle, click here: https://soulofaseeker.com/2019/07/16/...)
Currently, we are working to renovate, modernize, and customize this steel beast—doing all the work ourselves. (Here's more on our mammoth project: https://soulofaseeker.com/our-1965-cl...) After this, we are seeking the second part of our journey, which is traveling full time in our home-on-wheels with our three cats. In the end, we are one American girl and one English bloke blending cultures while exploring others. Follow our journey!
