There is only one right way to do this and that is to have Gary do it.=C2
- I am speaking from experience.=C2- I had other shops work on mine and
thousands later it still leaked.=C2- I had Gary work the problem and saved
a ton of money and never had another problem with it.=C2- Gary's work mad
e selling my plane absolutely no problem.=C2- You could eat off the engine
compartment.=C2-
=C2-
Gary, please feel free to send my endorsement here to your customer, she wil
l be glad if she takes my advice.
