Funny.  I know this guy who was so cheap and didn't what to replace his pitted heads or
buy the rubber gaskets. He filled all the pits with caulk and applied the caulk to the
heads to form a gasket and tighten up the head bolts. And that was about 200k ago.I
really didn't mean to call him cheap, after all he did use the $3 a tube instead of the
$.99.    Marcus
