My driver's side engine tin rubber seal is all beat and missing part of the "v" section (or lip) that is supposed to interlatch with the tin.
Can these be replaced with motor in the car? If so, how much cursing is involved? Also, anyone have a good used driver's side engine tin rubber seal they want to get rid of? |

Note to self: This poor looking seal that is on there could be part of my overheating issues because car likes to go to 220 degrees and it is let's say....very cool here in the Bay Area these days. Would hate to see my motor on a 90+ degree day. |

You’ve been complaining about running hot at freeway speeds so that seal isn’t the solution you’re seeking. |
