My brother-in-law suggested that I might try that as well, but I needed to quit for the day so I put it all back together until I have more time. I didn't want to use the pickle as I don't think it

Sounds like you get in the same trouble with your wife as I do. I have several of her turkey basters sitting in my oil drain pan that I have used to suck out one kind of gunk or another from cars. So

You're right. Even when it's frustrating and I can't make something work the way it ought to, I still would rather have grease up to my elbows than watch T.V. That Miata is a cute little car though.
