WHAT THE F@!*# I REALLY SREWED MYSLF THIS TIME

how it going, well im not to good, today while i was adjusting my fuel presseure @ school(turbocitymodel) i adjusted it and when i was screwing it back on i heard a pop, not a load one, and all the bolts screwed in fine so i thought i was good, so when i turn on my car gas startes spraying out of the back left, when the exit tube thing is, "ok" i thought, and went to go re-adjust the gasket, but when i looked at it i realized that crack was be breaking the gasket in half. so i called up scott @ cfm tech and ask him if he can give me a new one(turns out they moved to NH so he has to mail it) and he says it might take a couple of days but go to lapans and get one there. ok ladidadida walk in to lapans, they have 2 kits and need the code off the injector, so i ask how much they are and he told me 70 fing dollars, i was like screw that, and went to the chevy dealer to see if they had a single gasket, nope, have to get the 40 dollar set, all for a stupid 1/2 inch long gasket that has 2 holes, so im waiting for scott and my car is in the garage at school, and i have no ride

Goto some auto part store and buy some of that make a gasket material

Place the old gasket on the material and cut it out

There ya go new gasket for about 5 bucks and 10 min of your time
