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.

Good morning Virginia, happy Thursday! Everything is made of plastic on cars and trucks these days....

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!

Always something isn't it Pat!

How long have you been down.

67nukeford 12-12-2013 10:30 AM

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.
