Jeese Luise! Got ganged up on there. I wasn't saying I wasn't going to just asked about it so you get one of these I am just messing around I have a habit of asking questions to gain knowledge about a subject and sometimes it comes off as I am questioning a persons knowledge as if I am thinking they are wrong. Here are a couple pictures of it while we were putting it in. I am not the camera man it was my son with the phone. I don't have one of it all done and sealed etc because I didn't think of it. As you can see the rest of it needs love.
Hey Todd...I am just having some fun. Humor is healthy! Unfortunately, I have to be serious all day at my job so it's nice to unwind and let the guard down sometimes.
And WOW, the cowl work looks great! You are doing the right thing by replacing it instead of trying to repair it. There will be no regrets (or leaks) when you're done!
