i wouldn't trust la products to do that. I buy all my parts from them but they screwed up rebuilding my cousins carbs and I hear horror stories about what they do to a transmission. i also know a guy that had them rebuild an engine that ran for about an hour then blew up. I like them but i don't trust their work.
