Evening, guys. Just checking in.
Had some Ford fun so far this week. Ranger came in with two missing cylinders. Smoked the intake and found a nasty leak.
Turned out that the shaft that turns the swirl control butterflies had wallowed out an oblong hole in the intake. Not one of Ford's best engineering decisions.
JB Weld, FTW!

The plenum on my Town Car was plastic. The Mustang cobra plenum from the same year is aluminum.
Guess what it's wearing now

Morning Tim! Well, just awaiting the word from the NRC, should be here by noon, that will allow us to go critical, and begin the process of putting us back online!

Over 2 1/2 years. We shut down April 11th, 2011, for a normal refuel. Then we had a small fire. Then we had the flood. Just went downhill from there.
