Where do you live?
My towns merely 6000 people and we have two shops that will pressure test.

I got a block of that duct seal in the electrical department. Black putty stuff to fill up the gap around the heater core tubes that exit the firewall. Alot cheaper than the 3M Strip Caulk.

Still figuring out what brand heater core to use.
