I'll help supervise when you do yours. I have the Snap-On stud nut socket you can borrow. It's one piece about 4 inches long.
My back and knees don't like it when I'm hunched over the top of the radiator for that long.

ha, just when you were getting used to the taurus, and all its power..... hows the new trans feel? Angelo, you did get a lot done and are not the first person to say things about valves being out of spec, seems like the suggested maintenance interval is off. Was a real nice day today, but I got roped into pressure washing a building and then was out all day so got nothing done on the truck. I did notice one good thing tho, the used Liberty I bought for the wife does have ac, never gave it a second though when looking at it, but looked today and its all there, whew that would be tough to explain had it been missing.

yeah it is intimidating when you hear enough folks having a hard time, my biggest problem was my computer was too fast to see what was going on and it was doing everything on its own, but I wasn't sure, and panniced not wanting to screw it up....... after that and a chat with Angelo, it has been all good since then. What do they give you as a loaner car anyway ? gotta be better than the level ten taurus !!!!!

He probably had to rent a car since as far as I know Autowurks doesn't have a loaner car. At least they have never showed it to me.......

I realized that 4/20 is the weekend that I will be down the shore working, so I am out for the PA meet. Hope you guys go and sell your stuff.

The twins were started tonight. I removed all the old stuff and installed the new coolant line, oil drain, exhaust manifold and took apart the big boy and mounted the hot pipe to it.
I figured I would work on it a little bit each night and have it finished by Saturday. The weather has been to nice to not take advantage of it.
