A friend manages a tire/auto shop, we peeked in his labor book and it says a little under 4 hours labor. I think Im going to set aside a weekend and hope for the best. really getting tired of dumping a quart of oil every 4 days. Jim

I gotta ask, how in the world did it get to where it is leaking a quart every four days??

Did somebody at a repair shop help it out??

No gasket, I can see it, but even with any sort of gasket under it at all, not this much oil UNLESS it is being blown out??

How's the PCV thing?? Is it working?

Sorry for your hassle..... Good luck with it and don't get too frustrated doing it, just take your time..
