well i don't have to worry about all that sh$%. i don't even have insurance or registration on my truck. basically stricktly hill climber and mudder. noo need to insure it. whAT ever dammage occurs on it i can easily fix. but yea i put that gasket in and all's good. sealed up good. the last owner was a fool to not have any gasket in there anyway. dumb reets!!!!!
