        Not that it is necessary, but I'll put a 2nd on what DH & KW have said & Add that if

You have not already done so, You should Soak All the Nuts&Bolts that you are going to

be removing on this project with PBBlaster &Or Zep45 Today & then HeatItUp ToOp'Temp

&Then SoakAgain ~ 

        &Also ~ The NextTime You change Your Oil, Save Yourself some UnnecessarilySpent

 $s & use Valvoline FullSynthetic Instead ~

        Redline is a GreatOil as are RoyalPurple & Ams but WayOverPriced & a Valvo' F'S'Oil

will DoTheJob JustAsWell ~

        There are Other Good F'S'Oils out there but I'm just fond of Valvo' ~
