[TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak

[Bud Rolofson]

Thanks for that Andrew, I don’t want either side fucking this list up. I’ve been here for 24 years and fortunately we self police.

This is an email list so I don’t even like it when it veers towards being a chat line, no finding Waldo crap please, or naming old sayings, that is for chat lines and face book. No car stuff, then stifle yourself.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Bud
