yeah i was wondering about the math, wasn't too sure what the 7lbs equals...
in 'units of books'...so as i thought, kinda, that you would need one hell of a press that would probablly just crush the whole thing anyway

How do I know my IM dosn't leak?
I don't and I have never claimed otherwise. All I'm sure of is that there's no sealant on my intake track, all the bolts are tight, and with 200,000 miles my 100cs (and my old 100s) runs as good or better than other 12v cars I've seen. That's good enough for me =P It's been on the road every single day since last October. Somehow I can't see myself spending two week to chase an insignificant (to me) problem based on a claim that every single 12v intake manifold MIGHT leak because it wasn't torqued down over a two day process involving an extra set of heads. I'll save my energy for when real issues develop thank you.

I have no preference over chocolate or vanilla in general.
It needs to be narrowed down more. Are we talking about ice cream? Depending on the brand I could go either way. Right now I have some Breyers in the freezer, you'd have to be crazy to get that in any other flavor than vanilla. That's how I choose flavors, cars are easy.
