It was dark, flashlight died, couldn't see what it was hung up on. It's in now but the flex plate shield is bowed inwards and hits the converter bolts

Can you tell where it's leaking from? My Expedition had a big hose bust a couple months back between the radiator and the air conditioner. Learned a lot about coolant flushing that week.

how long do you let it rip when you clean injectors?

no wrenching on my cars because they're all in proper working condition atm but I did do a full valve lash adjustment on the BRaptor, added a case saver chain guard, and fitted a new factory exhaust because the P.O. gutted it completely and didn't tune the atv. I also put new tires on the front.

Fresh bottle of gas and the drivers side floor is like 95% done, just 2 more strips to the rocker panel and it's completely zipped up.
Spent the winter mostly just welding the floor and every time I patched somethint up, another hole appeared.
Ended up cutting the whole floor off and redid everything, I've now reached the point that no new holes are appearing on the drivers side at least.

gotta put this up on jackstands to yank the t5 back out yet again because it was a stupid idea to reuse a flywheel/clutch/plate out of a truck that was known worn out and chattering, it's finally driven me fucking nuts.

really shouldve done it last year when I had to put a new counter shaft in it.
po of the t5 claims it had a nitrous runaway in his car with no oil in it.
I remember seeing a bearing cage on the input side wrapped around the shaft and my stupid ass rebuilt it anyways.
hoping this shits not going to be a basket case forever.
