Aha. I'm not get involved in that

What have you guys found to be a good glue to hold stuff like rubber together? (I'm too cheap to buy another pair of boots just yet)

I've had a set of Red wings for just over a year now and so far they are the best boots I've ever owned. I'm sure that's because I have been putting oil on them about once a month and I haven't ever done that before. They keep my feet dry all day long, and where I live (southwest WA) we can get some pretty heavy rain that seems to go on from November to April. :D Only thing I don't like about them is that if I get on a roof steeper than 8/12 they don't have very good traction.

I like my Red Wing boots. This last pair has gone three years so far...but are just about shot. If I had oiled them regularly and had the toes capped, they probably would still be good for another year or two....

I hate red wing boots. Two pairs didn't last 6 months each.

Good old tax time. I get to see how much money I made and how little of it I have left.

:mad: :mad: Looks like I will be pulling my trans back out next week. Seems like I made the rear main leak when I put it in last Saturday. Also made the front seal leak from too thick flexplate. I hadn't heard about the 1/8 gap needed between TC and FP. Oh well, lesson learned the hard way.

Is your aftermarket flex plate flat or does it have a bit if a dish to it like the stock one?

It's this one. It does have a bit of a dish shape. After doing some research I'm sure that's why it's leaking trans fluid and oil from the bellhousing.

So what gives? Is it not enough of a dish?

Has anybody uploaded from photobucket lately? I was going to upload some pics because I wanted you guys opinion on my newest project before I get too far into it and pb has changed since I was last on there. All I saw was an option to e-mail the photos to pb, I went to the help section and it said there was a computer option under "upload" but there isn't. I sent a question to the help desk and no answer back yet. :(
Help?

I haven't tried to upload, but apparently I have no more bandwidth left (that's never happened before, and I only have a few photos on there)

Nope. GD photobucket! :evil: I e-mailed it to them, but now I can't get a link so it shows up here, and can't change what album it's in. wtf.
