I'd say you scored quite a bargain. How are the mechanicals?

Mak,

Welcome.

The above poster often has good useful assistful advice and funny lines. However, you should approach his "mechanical flair" with some caution. It is, how do you say it? Outback. Yeah, that's it.

Thanks for that warning to Mak, Native. It's often difficult for someone new to a site to know where the best information comes from.
Personally, I've found Airbear's advice to be very good.

Pretty good. There is a little oil leak on the pan.

Where can i get a silicone gasket for the pan?

Thanks, Mak.
