[AT] Tempe gauge> pressure wash

[oldiron62 at gmail.com]

 Roy,  Be careful with that pressure washer. You can push the gaskets with 
to much pressure, giving you lots of new leaks. And then whenever you use it 
the dust will latch onto every greasy spot. Wont much bother the head 
gasket, but oilpan and valve cover, trans gaskets dont like the pressure 
washer.
I been there, its another JOB or 3. And some of them are hard to replace 
unless your going into it anyways.
Hope everyone had a big time and a Merry Christmas.
Kevin Mosier
