Make buddies, get access, LEARN. DO IT YOURSELF lol

plastigauge is not all powerful, and the ---- you see on the internet isn't everything you need to know.

i had many local haters tell me to putit together myself.
1. I have never done it
2. I'm mechanically inclined, but I am not detail oriented...
3. I did not have access to a torque wrench with stretch on it.
