Steve - I wouldn't have any complaint if it was a cheap knock off. It is an $100+/- Lokar firewall mount and installed per their instructions with just a little bit of silicone - their verbal instructions. This is the only component on the car that has leaked - ever. I wont even tell you how many pan gaskets it took - that real narrow cut out place on the pan rail just wouldn't seal so I ended up with a new pan, flanged bolts instead of my ARP $tuds plus a very thick cork gasket instead of my favorite neoprene composition Fel-Pro's. Now, that first pan - a TCI, was not even flat at that cut out. I ended up with a Spectre Performance 5455 from Summit - and it is a nice part.
