    yeah it seems like i will just go ahead and buy a gasket from autozone

    yesterday we spent about an hour just jacking the car up hahahhaha, we had no jack stands so we went looking for cinder blocks, and having two blocks was not high enough and the jack wouldnt go high enough to put in a third, so we tried so many wierd setups to get it higher, the floor jack on top of a brick was just not working

    we ended up putting the spare tire jack on the brick cause it was more stable and that let us get that third block in, by that time it was gettin dark and cold so we said **** it and we will continue today, rep for all btw
