any body have the part number...

[ThunderSS]

for the front end gasket kit..
I need the water pump gasket, timing cover gasket, balancer seal, and a new crank bolt.
O'rielly's is useless..
if it isnt associated with a vehicle they cant find it..
without a part number the kids in there cant find it..
they want to know what year the car is..
I told them the year model is not important..

Pimple faced kid behind the counter - "what size engine?"

me - "any LS-X series motor will do from 1998 to 2010"..

Pimple faced kid behind the counter - "but sir those are different sized engines"......

me - Nevermind I will just go somewhere else..

what happened to all the older fella's that used to work at a parts store???
you could ask them anything and they could find it for WITHOUT a computer..
now a days.. if it aint in the computer they dont know where to look for it, and it could be sitting right on the shelf behind them and they would never know, I mentioned to them the other day that those big catalog books back behind them had a lot of dust on them.... the kid had no idea what I was talking about..........
