Haha thanks for the support.... lets face it. If my girlfriend can go out and buy a $300 pair of shoes because they look "cute"... you know where this is going

After 35 years, plus, I don't ask or tell. I just let her notice, if she does and say, "yeah, I bought that (fill in proper date)." :dance:

After 23 years, I've learned this only works with purchases under $50 or so. Try it with a $14,000 motor swap and let us know how that goes for you

Adam, can you ask the shop to be more specific about this gasket they need to replace and report back here? I remember you posted about this oil leak a couple weeks back and I'm curious.

The shop said it was right under the passenger side intake on the topside of the engine.
Quoted me about $1400 in labor +$100 gasket and then 10.5% tax.... they said to get at it they almost have to drop the engine and disconnect all the auxiliaries and such to swing the engine down to be able to work on it.
