Welcome to the forum.

M-Shop has quite a few resources available that might not be apparent at first glance.

Check out the tabs at the very top of the page entitled "DIY links" and "DIY articles".

Quite a few good writeups of procedures that you'll definitely need to get familiar with. Note that gassers are also present in these lists.

Additionally, the forum provides a direct link to purchase high quality parts at decent prices. Click on the "buy parts" tab at the top of the page. Buying parts from the forum helps to pay to support the forum...........and you'll certainly benefit from keeping it thriving.

welcome aboard
