wilma </div></div> Yeah, listen to the old guys. They'll give you tried-and-true advice gleaned from years and years of experience. Did I mention that they're old? And that they have many, many, many years of experience? And that they're OLD! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] </div></div> Plus....they're OLD!

Re: Valve Cover Install
It seems like I should be old as long as I have had that advice [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] (grease on gaskets, maintenance, etc) it was firmly implanted in my head [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] by 10 via my dad (EXP Minesweeper Navy Diesel engineer on a crew of 6 or 8) & grand father (Duke Mech Engineer/WWII USS Soley Engineering Officer) SO It is OLD advice...
