Metal gaskets? Damn. I'm sure that type would've helped me somewhat. All the gaskets I've used have been CHEAP paper-like material. Some have been cracked, bent, twisted, etc. in the boxes they've come in. Not good....
Oh yeah, and the pumps on our cars are DEFINITELY crap! I just got a great job offer on Friday, so if this latest pump goes out again quickly my Contour will (sadly) be traded in on something of the Japanese or German persuasion!
