They will sell you the 'wrong' seal. Your TA cover is a chinese unit that doesn't use the correct rear mounted metal clad seal.

That's a common place for them to leak. Since it can be such a fight getting the back of the PS cover to drop in place, the gasket can get dislodged before the bolts are set in place. The trick is to glue the cork to the cover, set a weight on it and let it cure. And don't machine lock the...

The seal should have the seal number on it. If you can't read yours, TA sells Silver Seal brand covers (all Chinese covers are the same) so they might have a part number if it's different than the actual seal number.

I'm not in Canadia, but if you mean the gasket that hooks the cat flange to the exhaust system, I can mail you one (or two)

I actually looked into doing this years ago. I want to say it was going to cost me a little over $10,000 to get started. I hit two major hurdles. I have a friend that owns a foundry and I was down there drinking beers (and literally throwing the cans into a crucible) and he told me that it...

Yeah. After doing all the work on the Chinese cover, you drop in the cam sensor then get pissed off the pump can't turn anymore. It's a well documented problem that's been around for decades. (on top of the gear pockets being too deep)

The easiest way to tell if you're crooked is to look in the rear inner fenders. They are right at the same width as the frame. Basically you just run you fingers over the 'joint' on both sides and make them match. (That's an important step if you're wanting to run the widest tires you can...

They are. I would verify the lengths you have, but I can't remember what they are. I do know they're odd, so you're probably right.

Yeah. The stainless can be a bitch to cut. And it will get waaaaaaaaay worse if you rub on it and work harden it any. Dremel cutoff wheels are really too small to cut them due to the small diameter of the wheel which makes it impossible to get a square cut. And it gets worse as the wheel...

That's right. Trans is metric. Block is plain ole shitbox GM, so the pan rail is SAE.

Yeah, the pan kits aren't really anything special as they're mostly the same size. The only real thing about those is choosing the right OD washer at a good thickness to work with the pan rail type. The real trick is to make sure you get metric when you need metric and SAE when you need SAE. 8mm...

I think what you described is the same thing I offer in my manifold bolt kits. From your description, you might be OK. That's if you accounted for the shorter stud you need for the front lower cylinder bolt hole that needs a nut for the alternator reinforcement. On the upside, 316 is rated...

The holes in the head are 3/8-16. The factory fasteners are bastard threads, SAE on the head side, and metric on the nut side. As far as the ''science'' on why stainless won't work, real life says otherwise. I'm still running the same 18-8 stainless bolts on my downpipe since 1998 with no...

I'm pretty sure cakes are that big. But, I'm not an expert there, and I make sure by baby batter doesn't land in the wrong spot. :D

Birthday cakes are about 12~14" in diameter. I'm not quite that big.

I used plaster back then to cast my junk for the dildos I gave out as gifts. the mold was also used to make some pretty nice candles.

It exists. Years ago I talked to the company that made the covers for GM back in the 80's. I was hoping to get the print so I could alter it with my oil mods and cast my own covers from scratch. The answer I got was ''GM still owns the print so I can't share it''. Next step was to put...

Just replace the bearing and keep on truckin' Here's the same post as above, but with the pictures. https://www.turbobuicks.com/threads/how-to-rebuild-the-idler-pulley.89964/

Something like this one? :)

Finding 80's cars like Monte Carslows in the junkyard is damn near impossible now. And if you do find one, your Buick will end up with Chevy stank bolted under the dash. :D That arrangement I came up with actually turned out better than expected. When Advance Auto quit warranting my...
