Yeah....I refuse to let a mechanic touch my stuff (or my VX) haha. So, I went to the only muffler shop in town and when I told him what I owned he just laughed and said there is no way that they have the gaskets I need (except for the manifold gasket). I asked him what he would have told me if I asked him to do the work and he said he would have told me I would have to wait for him to get the gaskets in stock. Yeah, that's a lie...I know I know....they would have taken on the job and used silicone or peanut butter if they had to- just to make it work for a week. I went and bought a sheet of DIY gasket-making material that looked like it would do the job (some sort of rubber with mesh metal in the middle), but no dice...leaking still. I'm guessing it's because of the lack of that darn metal ring thats in the middle of the OEM gaskets. I guess I will try St. Charles and see what they say. I have not yet ordered anything from them. I hope they ship to Alaska for decent prices.
