Rob,
Can you tell us what Transmeister charged to do the work?
With all the discussion on flaring on this board, this is the first I have seen with fixes around new springs in valve body. I have the same problem but I was just certain that the problem was that vacuum leak that I still had not found.
Any parts source for this work?
