well just picked up some of that anaerobic permitex gasket maker, like you said autozone didn't have it but its on the shelf at napa (about 15 bucks for a 50ml tube)- also picked up an autometer ultra lite egt with probe today- should help with the tuning.- gonna also try running 114 instead of 110 octane so i picked up 5 gal of that today too.- as soon as i can find the time to rip the bedplate off- she's gonna sit idle for a while -gonna drive the girlfriend's car for right now. wish me luck pullin that bedplate from underneath the car.
thanks
