Hey Larry!
I was wondering where you have been. Often I see a post, and wonder why you haven't thrown your two cents in. Now, I know.
My gasket is still good, but I will certainly remember to be sure and remove the assembly first. 60 hours is a bunch....hopefully it pays the bills though, and it won't go on forever.
btw...just cuz you've given up MB's (for now) doesn't mean you can't pull up a chair and let yourself be seen
Take care,
-Larry
