Shouldn't be but just more time I wasn't planning on.
It will take longest to make the outside bracket to support the bolt on the outside.

[QUOTE=Ford79;11335740]Not so much, but the alternative is paying someone to do it.

That's how I feel about the Saturn too. I got the new gasket in and torqued everything EXACTLY how I was supposed to .. right down to the in. lb. F'ing thing STILL LEAKS IN THE EXACT SAME CORNER IT DID BEFORE.
The gasket was $30 alone (I've now bought two of them). The torque wrench was another $30. It's not alot of money, but still alot of wasted time. The thing leaks more oil than my truck does.
Stupid plastic POS.

That sucks. If the VC isn't warped thee must be a problem with the head.
As Jim and Troy said, silicone is your friend.
