Re: Finally fixing it
Just got back in... I found everything now. Things were tucked behind
other things and were hidden. After staring long enough (and just dumb
luck) I found what I needed. She's running great. The new gasket is
in. Probably only leaks as much as the last one. I'm not comfortable
with the way half the nuts don't hold the top on (they miss the lip).
Maybe I will look into an aluminum one (hell, I hear they leak less,
make the engine quieter and add HP...)

Re: Finally fixing it
Just got back in... I found everything now. Things were tucked behind
other things and were hidden. After staring long enough (and just dumb
luck) I found what I needed. She's running great. The new gasket is
in. Probably only leaks as much as the last one. I'm not comfortable
with the way half the nuts don't hold the top on (they miss the lip).
Maybe I will look into an aluminum one (hell, I hear they leak less,
make the engine quieter and add HP...)
