seriously, just stick with stock.



lots of people reporting problems with the teflon coolant seals not wanting to "fit" the engine, it's odd, plus the "reusability" of teflon seals is dumb, any engine rebuilder worth his salt wont reuse them.

exactly lol. if it aint broke dont fix it. the seals dont just loose it, roasting your motor kills the seals....thats what is supposed to happen lol. the seals are cheaper to replace then melting something else.
