WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER! glad you fixed the problem. one heck of a learning experience.
Boy you aren't kidding about the learning experience. I have to give the customer some credit here actually. He is an older gentleman that did not pressure or belittle even once. He and I relayed experiences back and forth over the course of this saga and I could not have asked for a better person to have this happen to. I know that sounds bad, but HE supplied the billet Mancini retainer-which leaked worse than ever. HE supplied 3 oil pan gaskets. He supplied fuel when it wasn't even asked for. HE made countless trips to the shop and he exhausted every one of his resources trying to resolve this problem, all the while remaining in good spirits. J.Rob
