Message	This last time was a major oil leak I didn't catch and I drove it down the road a mile. Not to mention I was doing this myself and this was the first time I ever did a car like this. Always done easy old V8 motors. It was overwhelming. I'm paying someone to do it for me this time. Who is more foolish? The fool or the foolish following the fool? Jodi
