They may leak if they are 20 years old and rusted thru, but that's why I just replace them when I rebuild an engine. Otherwise I've never seen any reason to use the aftermarket ones unless you have some kind of emergency that requires you to replace the tube without pulling the head. Even then, I consider this a temporary measure to give you time to do the job right. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
