<VV> Oil fill cap gasket

[Jim McLott]

Norm & Connie,

A trick I use is to cut a round gasket from a pizza box and put it under
all the other stuff in the cap.  The extra thickness helps ensure a
tight seal.   It won't last forever but when it gets oil-soaked and no
longer seals, the solution is simple: order another pizza.

P.S.  Norm, I finally got the seat extenders installed last night and
what a difference!  The seat position is much more comfortable.  My
wife's going to hate it because I'll be able to drive "crazier" (her
word) than before.

Another trick I have seen is to put a WD40 cap in the throat of the fill
tube. Fits perfectly under the cap.

The Internet: a fantastic new technology that combines the accuracy of
fourth-hand hearsay with the excitement of typing.
