Nope. I'm another sad olde pharte who has no choice. I've got to rebuild
the Kadrons because some moron used some kind of goopy **** and there's
little balls of the crap in the passageways and it seeped in from where
a gasket alone would have worked. Plus the float in one is crushed.

Except for the bottom gaskets, which I already made, the rest are paper
thin. Not sure how to proceed. Neither are the NAPA guys. But I can
probably screw up a dozen times before the backorder is filled, so why
not try? Honest, I feel like I'm rebuilding an antique in Cuba.
