I did not look at what was posted, but i have made my own in the past based on
internet instructions... it is not hard. They work well... just make sure you
have a good emergency brake, you still block your wheels and don't stand with
your foot under the front wheel (ask me how I know!). Your engine will want
to turn when you pump 100psi into it, making the car creap or leap. BTW,
total seal rings do work... my leak down was less than 2lbs on a new motor.
