You are being far too generous. We expect a more worthy performance from him.

Uh, no we don't. He's the king of half-ass. But we try and goad him into doing it right.

The nice thing about this job is that it is now the equivalent of a box of cookies on the kitchen counter. Every time you pass by it you can reach down and spend a few minutes on it.  It does not require jacking up the car, crawling under, etc. -- just look for a spot of blue or red and polish it out. |

SPEAKING OF GOADING DC,
What WAS the result of the valve cover tutorial I earnestly gave you??
You remember-fill step at head/intake juncture, gasket with R/S and Mariachi's home-brew grease-did I overlook your results or are you hoping to skulk away into the night??? Some guys gave their best advice to help you.

Still waiting on the OG grease - Elmariachi hasn't gotten it yet from the guy he bought it from, so hasn't sent it. No rush for me though, LOTS of visitors in the last few weeks and busy work schedule, so no time with the cobra unfortunately. 
Don't worry, I'll post when I get it done and report back if the super-goo grease does the trick. I did decide to say with the felpro blue stripe gaskets by the way.

Screw that bum Elmariachi. Here, use the stuff I use, it's great and you can get it off Ebay for $20. Just remember to use it in a well ventilated area.

Screw this guy with his toxic blend and go buy my Kendall axle grease for $2.49 and be done with it. Tastes good too.
Don't look for Marichi. He's on a secret mission for the State Department to drink up all the Mexican beer in Texas and convert it to urine.

Anything that is basically poison will always work better than something that is safe. And I take comfort in the fact that Dow warns you right there on the label that if you breathe the stuff you will go to sleep.  |
