I think just about all of the valve covers use crush washers over the years. I have noticed that since I went to 15W-50 it takes a second or two more of cranking to start the car. I assume it's because of the thicker oil. This is cold starts only? Dan Sent from my iPad On Apr 14, 2014, at

Good point Peter - I presently have R12 hoses - and R134a was installed recently. I'll ask my shop about replacing the hoses. I'm pretty sure they make them in his shop. My next step is to find the number of vac pods needed - I plan to replace all the pods but need the qty. Maybe the parts

My understanding is that the dryer should always be replaced if the system has been opened for any length of time. I priced hoses for my 126 and they weren't cheep. When a real leak developed, my AC had a local shop fit new rubber on the old metal pipes; the cost was quite reasonable and I knew
