Ok...I won't take offense the girlie additives in there, though many would, I wouldn't recommend doing it again though. It was basically due to nothing fitting from the old covers onto the new ones, so I had the almost hour trip into town to replace the breather. Then one of them was spewing oil everywhere so I had to take it off and redo it again which meant taking off the gasket, and cleaning it all again and reglueing it (hahaha, and Adam did that one the first time!!!), the T bolts that I had on the old covers didn't fit on the new ones in the top three holes, so we had to find some that fit, that was an adventure in itself....and it was about 80 freaking degrees out, (not that I am complaining) so there were a few beer involved!!! It now looks freaking marvy.... |
