Tom: Yup.........I wish it WASN'T apart! With it being apart, I can't even drive it to my mechanic and have HIM put it together (I wonder if he makes house calls???). It was one of those things that I thought I would have time to do myself but should have known better........especially just after moving into a new home. The first thing I did to the house was put a new garage floor in, paint the walls, slap up some Cobra posters / pictures, build a work bench and cabinets, and..........take my car apart. Then the wife got a bug up her a$$ about wanting me to start working / painting the rooms INSIDE the house (who would have thought about doing THAT??.........I spend all my time in the GARAGE!!). I've been a slave to her ever since (and that started in April!).
Oh well.........at least she's giving me time off to go to the Fling!
Thanks for the tip on the gasket. Do you suggest silicone as well, or just the gasket alone? I don't know what gasket was used originally (I'm going to contact the engine builder and ask), but whatever he used didn't hold up.
