[V8] Warning from the Audigods!

[NIck Miller]

Yea, the jelly idea makes it nice so you can put the valve body together on
a GM transmission with the Tranny upside down.  I hated having to get
underneat the thing on our jig and get it in Just so.   The stuff is a
petroleum product obviously so it integrates with tranny fluid np.

So, those lifters are quiet and all now, huh tony?  Yea that is a bad ass
trick to know, saves you a lot of money on buying new ones at something like
150 or so a set.
