Confession of poor wife's car maintenance.

[encorehunter]

One of my most funny experiences ever:

My friend called me to help him get his car running after he replaced his head gasket.

I saw the blue RTV between the head & block when I first pulled up...

I picked up a non running 67 mustang with a 289 in it. The owner told me he rebuilt the carb and it ran for a bit and died. It wouldn't start after that. I got home and pulled it apart, find he had replaced all the gaskets with window silicone. I ordered the rebuild kit for about $12 and it ran after a 20 minutes installation.

I love it!
