I got 10 quarts of oil... in my engine son!

i also had some seepage from the VC gasket but i just tightened each bolt like 2 full turns last week no broken bolts though...

Just be careful with that.
They can break pretty easily then you'll be screwed

Get a Fel Pro gasket set (comes with the VC and tube seals) from Napa, they run about $30.

not a very good recommendation. I used this gasket for my first time changing it, and it leaks. I talked to a very trustworthy and intelligent mechanic who even stated that Fel Pro is garbage, and now I believe him. It would benefit him more to buy from the dealer because its reliable and cheaper! ($11.90 FTW!)

well...thats what i mean. the first time i screwed em in wasn't tight enough...and it allowed some seepage. took a tiny 10mm wrench and tightened them till they were just getting snug.

they must have backed up cause i could turn em by hand...

fel-pro is good stuff for certain things. some cars require OEM gaskets for stuff while fel-pro is good enough for others (or sometimes better. the fel-pro 4G63 kits are way better than mitsubishis, for example).
