If you need some expandable return tubes, PM me. I'll give you a good set with new seals. I put them on my car but then a year later had the engine apart doing head studs so I put in the factory tubes.

Thanks Shaun!
It'll have a weird exhaust note. Sometimes it'll have a tick similar to a lifter or valve out of adjustment (this one is tough to pick up on) Look for any carbon buildup where the cylinder meets the block.

BTW, if it hasn't been started for a considerable amount of time, I'd have the back end outside of the garage when you start it. You're gonna be fogging for mosquitos when you start it up.
