he's like ... i got some bad news... and starts rambling of gaskets that have gone bad...
i was like WaTiF did you just say... he was like here.... here is an estimate of what it might cost... yall should take a look

ohh and if yall know how to change the timing cover gasket... please help cuz that ones not as hard as the other... so i know i can do it

Ok that sounds like a lot of bullshit. Are you leaking oil? That would be the only reason for replacing the rear main seal and timing cover gasket. However if you know it to be leaking and you can live with that dont spend $1,500 on that. A lot of that seems like unecessary maintenance. they're tryin to rip you off big time.

yeah you would notice if your gasket need to be replaced car would run way different.

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 12:33 AM

... it does need to be replaced... i lose about a quart of oil a month... some how i make it from change to change... but winters coming so hopefully i get some time to take the front of the block apart and replace the front gasket

get a second quote if you dont want to do it yourself.

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 12:37 AM

... im thinking about going somewhere that isn't a tire store... ya know

232stang · November 30th, 2006, 12:40 AM

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 12:44 AM

00SoSlow · November 30th, 2006, 04:40 AM

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 09:45 AM

CyberPrey · November 30th, 2006, 11:20 AM

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 12:47 PM

kerry · November 30th, 2006, 02:48 PM

mine blew the gasket and it was $50 in gaskets to replace them and i did it myself. the previous owner also got a quote of 1500 just to replace it. we also did the rear main seal and someother stuff. if ur relatively mechanicly inclined, u could also do it.

Onemanzu · November 30th, 2006, 08:02 PM

... im thinking ima do the front timing cover one as soon as the first snow falls

My67_fastback · December 1st, 2006, 09:13 PM

dr.gonzo · June 4th, 2008, 03:24 PM
