Snide comments and character assassination aside for a comment that wasn’t meant specifically to you but to the general Packard owner, Olson’s is a family owned and run business and deserve all the kudos they can get if we want them to be around to make the more complicated gaskets that can’t be hammered, chopped and chiseled out ourselves.

Actually, I order a lot of gaskets from Olson’s as my shop is about 700 miles away from were I live so I have to be sure that whatever I need for the next round of work is there waiting for me when I get there. If I had to stop to make a gasket whenever I needed one I would not get any of the actual work done. Shipping is amortized to next to nothing for each one when I order multiple gaskets at the same time. For special gaskets, I always supply a full description and model fitment so that the next person can order with confidence that it will fit their car.
