> [@yunvme666](#): > > not really, its not like your putting anything in the way, when i have 2 or 3 of these jobs to do in a day, ya the more you can leave on the more you can make off them… out of the few hundred ive done over the years ive only had about 10 leak again, but they usually had double the miles from the first time, i mean hell i see new cars with the same problem, anywhere after 20k. thats what you get with a low tq plastic and rubber gasket inbetween aluminum and steel…lol… Makes sense. I never thought to try it that way. ---

^At first I did not think Mansfield was that far away…Holy Shit…It’s not worth driving that far. mistero, are there any shops local to you that can hook you up? If you get a decent rate it might be worth looking at. Even at $75/hour the job might only run you $300. But, is it worth it is the question. If the leak is not that bad you can get the “pellets” and drop them in. They do work for a short period of time. > [@91MR2](#): > > Ha, as soon as I read this thread I thought of Luke L… :tup:…We need to catch up.
