may i suggest a pair of nitrile gloves? they're dirt cheap @ Costco.. and long sleeve shirts/pants everytime. saves a lot of scrubbin'. :bigtu:

Fireindc 12-21-2007 04:31 PM

Yeah, lol that was my first clutch job ever, wasnt expecting to get that dirty- it was so oily because the valve cover gasket and cas gaskets both had terrible leaks(until i fixed them).

Next time i have a bunch of medical jumpsuits, ill just throw one of those on.

Glowshift. Some of the cheapest (I mean most affordable) gauges out there, and you can set the color with the press of a button. Ive never heard of a failure.

I installed one on my friends DSM. Works great, even if people think its cheap (cause it doesnt say AEM, Autometer, or whatever). Its a tool. I paid 3 times as much for my autometer... I dont feel cooler, I feel like I got suckered by a brand.
If anyone has heard of failures let me know. Ive got good experience with them.

You sure as hell dont get a lot of cloth for your money these days! :bigtu:

Are we going to get pics of this present, before she takes it off?:bigtu:

I feel shafted hardcore when I bought an Autometer boost gauge. When I removed the piece of shit from the box it was reading +2psi already in my HAND! Waste of 60 bux.
