What did you do with your Z today

Left it in the garage because it was supposed to snow today. Turned out to be to warm so it is raining now. I get to bring it out later

I don't have a 370 but this weekend I got my 280ZX running again by replacing the clutch slave cylinder. I also bled the brakes and attempted to change the oil which left me with a completely torn up and irremovable oil filter thanks to the oil change place I took it to last time hiring the hulk to screw on filters . So this weekend I get to figure out how to get it off as well as flush the radiator and attempt to fix a degrading head gasket with this "Blue Devil" stuff. Has anyone tried it? From watching youtube videos it looks pretty effective. Anyways the oil filter looks something like this and I'm not happy about it.

Oh man that sucks!

Why don't you just get a new gasket instead of trying to seal it with the Blue Devil stuff?

This is way off topic, but... After I replaced a blown head gasket on my Jeep, it started leaking again. Was going through a quart of antifreeze every other day. I used Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix in the radiator, and... it actually worked. However, I wouldn't use it if you plan on keeping the car for a long time. The stuff is pretty irreversible. Some folks claim it ruined their engine, but I am thinking they may have tried a second bottle when it didn't work the first time. That would gunk EVERYTHING up.

Back on topic... I looked at my Z today wearing a layer of snow and a layer of sleet/ice on top of her. And she still melted my heart..
