Re: Fumeaze gasket
If it does not rattle . . . . . how do you know it is there ?
In fact, rattles are a very important and necessary part of an old car. So much so that in 1913 (April 1st) a patent was issued (#459B33k) giving universal rights to any and all car manufacturer who chose to use them.
Most manufacturers went for the least expensive manufacturing techniques - those techniques caused the rattle to not work at first, but after a few months, or years in some cases, the rattles finally began to become evident and the money spent on them began to reward the car owner/driver for years to come. It was one of the most cost-effective parts ever installed on a car.
P.S. - foot note: the other most common part on an old car, that continues to work even to this day, is the patented (June 4, 1903) Oil Leak. Some claim that their car's Oil Leak does not work - do NOT buy a bridge from this fellow !
