That's way too awesome! Thank you for your service 
By the way I got my valve cover gaskets done finally. Funny story behind that is I ordered to store and go in they didn't have them. So the store reordered them and I went in today to get them and they gave me a tiny box of rubber grommets...
I talk to a manager telling him I need the ACTUAL gasket for the whole valve cover he comes back in two seconds with both them. At that moment I didn't know whether to laugh or be mad. 
Had my friend Chris come over and had him help me clean the RTV sealant off of the VC's (that stuff blows! I don't recommend it.) Sprayed the VC's with high tack spray, sprayed the one side of the gasket. And now no leak like this, which is mostly my fault.
