Hey George,
Can't get anything past your, eh ! Always thinking which is good for a young man .

Haven't gotten to the center custom cap yet and think that there is no reason now, to disturb it as all looks excellent. The old man put center bearing thrusts in. He did very nice work, IMO.

Question:
They now make/sell those asbestos/copper washers/fillers that go between the nuts and block, to prevent oil leaks. Have any of you used these(one time use) and do you recommend their usage ? Or is that a waste of $/time
