[Healeys] Arghhhhh ...

[Mark LaPierre]

Bob,  without a nice cushy car lift how do you get to that area to test for 
leaks with the car running.
I am experiencing some leaks from my all new exhaust system but am at a loss 
as to how to
get to some of these areas to test for leaks without burning the hell out of 
my self.   Midas is starting
to look pretty good to me.

Seems to me that since they specialize in this area why not let them
do the job and use their warranty service when the gaskets fail again.  They 
have always stood behind
their service on my other cars and they have the necessary products to 
rectify most car problems.
Why waste your time any more on this area since you've done it several times 
over already?

Mark
