[Mongoose930]

I just bought the 3/8-16 Timesert kit. I was going to use Helicoils but the Timeserts seem to be a more elegant solution. Kit should be here by Tuesday.

Also bought more Right Stuff - the smaller tubes that go with a caulk gun - great deal on Amazon right now. I figure I will have better control with the caulk gun than with the aerosol can.

I will be ordering the Felpro 1247 S3 gaskets tomorrow from Survival Motorsports since my 12 hour old Cometic gaskets were destroyed when I pulled the manifold back off this morning. No wonder why my back is killing me!!

All in all, this has been very challenging but I have learned a lot about my car and I feel confident that when I put this next gasket in, it will be functional for a long time.
