    What Outlaw said. If it has a shelf life, I haven't hit it. I usually buy the small jar. Can coat MANY gaskets with 4 oz. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ptx-80019?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8fr7BRDSARIsAK0Qqr6GuuCGIDYhikZGo13ja0gia5tJL4BGYHSH0d1RJW-MWfIbUdJ8CFcaAqAEEALw_wcB CT

    That is a setback, but good to find early. I would have probably just dumped coolant into the system, found the leak, had to drain and change oil... I have used Permatex Aviation gasket sealant exclusively since my teens. Rarely will I use any other gasket dressing. I like it. It works. It...

    Ultimate Barn Find

    Robert, 1st, this project is top notch! Following along for this epic build! 2nd, question about your 2 post lift. I noticed in some of the pictures that you have over sized base plates welded to the lift posts. Did you do this modification? Was it due to thickness of concrete? Does it help...

    Generator Interlock, 320 service

    Bert, I had thought of that too. Did not know if Panel 1 feeding Panel 2 was cleaner than having parallel generator source feed. Anyway, I have a plan now. Also, another hurricane, Beta is moving this way. Hopefully the power line repairs hold up from the last hurricane! CT
