[s-cars] Darwin candidate - was Gasket replacement

[Bjørn Ødegård]

The moral must be:
1. search the archives
2. search the archives
3. Get a CD version of the Bentley
4. search the archives to confirm what the Bentley says
5. tell the list what you're going to repair (destroy) next
6. Read all the off-topic threads spinnig off your original post (might
take some time..)
7. repeat 1-6, but this time get a printed version of the Bentley off
ebay.
8. Start the mayhem (you should have a back-up car handy..)
9. _Read_ the Bentley (This _could_ be done before nr.8, but is seldom
done.)
10. Read the actual answers from 5 (with knuckles bleeding and grease
all over.)
11. get new parts (see, I told you to have a back-up car handy..)
12. do it again, right this time, and quicker than the bentley states.

Sometimes the #12 reads: "get the car to your favourite wrench."
instead.
