Same as it cost for your Rocker cover bro ... There will be substantial scraping away of the over spray where the rubber components fit plus i will be running a tap thru the threads ...

A little bit of pain now will mean dividends for years to come IMO ...

If you want a rebuild kit posted then let me know what you are paying down there?
