Yeah, I ignored the problem for so long because it just left a little oil on my garage floor and because it wasn't losing enough oil to cause me to have to add oil between oil changes.

It surprised the heck of me when he put it on the life and I saw for the first time how much oil was slathered along the underbody of the car.

Anyway, I sold the car two years ago to JCE's son, with a new headgasket w/ new valve guides and seals, and it's still in action.
