[T2] Valve cover gaskets

[Bob Pratt]

Because we are thinking of the worse and wondering if we can get home. My son has Aspergers. I'm trying to keep him calm while trying to figure my next course of action.

BTW.... Got some bad gas this afternoon. I was able to make to the next exit where there happened to be a garage at the top of the hill. The mechanic sprayed some cleaner down the throat and everything seem to work just fine!
I've had my fill of adventures!

I I wiggled it around a bit to make sure it was seated and flipped the bale back in place. No more leaks. I bought another case of oil Just In Case. If I don't use the oil on the way home, I can use it at home. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. They really helped! You guys gave some peace of mind being so far from home! Bob
