Good way to seal top of chimney that is temporary?

My top section is only 15x23 inches. I want to seal it till we can have it looked at or I fix it myself. There are cracks all through the inside of it and i'm told the gas can get in cracks and explode. So I just want to put some kind of metal plate over it that is designed for it if one exists. About 6 bricks on top are loose but I will fix that with some fresh mortar.

Way to inspect internals of Honda transmission? Automatic. 2009 Element.

I had so many oil leaks I could not see trans was also leaking. I know nothing about Honda transmissions other than how to change the fluid. Is there some plate I can remove and inspect it with my snake camera? Shop tried to say just the trans case needs to be sealed. I'm sure it is something in the trans, now just a seal for the trans case.

Is there a reason the HVAC tech never converts customer to 2 inch filters?

I've been to over 200 houses and never see them converted over to use 2 inch filters. As far as I know a thicker filter has more surface area and should increase airflow. When I switched from 1 to 2 inch merv 8 filters. My anometer showed 3% increase which could be wrong but it really seemed to help. You just pull out the little rack dividers and you are done.

Also, are overflow switches no longer needed? All 200+ houses did not have overflow switches here in Texas.

My daughters oil cooler is leaking oil. I got the new gasket. Can I simply loosen it and hang it down and put new gasket without draining antifreeze? Also not sure what size allen wrench I need to loose it.

Thanks.
