All good , the job is done.Runs great. Contacted Rob and he told me to loose the spacers and go with rubberized cork. Perfect.
To think that Mb indie shop was going to charge me $850. for the fix.
Did it myself for 6 bucks of gasket material, with plenty to spare for more fixes down the road if needed.
You guys helped me all along the way. Thanks again.
By the way Chuk, I'll say hi to Don m3pig for you. He's a great guy.
