I was thinking that if it had sat all this time you could have gotten a large concentration of settled metals in the sample throwing it off, but if you mixed it all up that shouldn't be the case. Unless you want to do a tear down I'd wait. Run it, see how it sounds, then send in another sample. If there's no bad sounds from it I doubt you could hurt it by running it and that would let you get more data before getting further into the project.

Did you run the engine before draining? Also, at what point during draining did you pull the sample; right after plug out, around half way drained, near end of drain?

Cost of equipment: Somewhere between $10 and $20k. Depends on the tires and wheels, how fast/easy you want it to be, how fast/easy you want the balancing to be, how safe you want it to be (for yourself as well as the wheel/tire).

You need different eyes. They're all stronger than chicken wire, and they're all better options than the drilled pipe you installed. They'll all flow a fuck ton better than what you installed so they'll have a fuck ton less stress to deal with. Hardware cloth is the weakest of the things I mentioned, if there will be rocks flowing rapidly with the water it might not hold up, but will likely do better than the drilled piece of metal you installed due to it's ability to let the water through. Expanded metal is probably your best option; it's cheap, strong, easy to find, easy to cut, and soft enough to shape easily. There are lots of options on hole size so you can choose the rock size you're willing to let through. Perforated sheet ranges from being about as flimsy as what you installed all the way to shit you couldn't bend or cut without machinery.

107/9.27 on wifi. Probably faster if I plug in.

Or expanded metal, perforated tubing, perforated metal sheet, hardware cloth...

He wants it sent to his Hacienda Heights address, along with a pre-paid subscription to whatever's needed to make it work. 🙂

I don't think so, but don't know. AFAIK that style trans is aimed only at the drag racing world. I think it's the same or similar as used in pro-stock cars, but this car has a traditional shifter instead of individual levers.

I got to drive a buddy's car that had a 'liberty shift' manual trans, no clutching or lifting the throttle, just slam the next gear at WOT when the shift light came on. It felt wrong to do, but worked great.

I left the Excursion at the Ford service department overnight about a week ago....we're all fucked.

Loose meaning it unthreaded all the way, or loose meaning it broke loose and then won't turn further? If it unscrewed all the way and just won't come out of the hole, magnet, or long thin pliers.

And if you're good at it it's probably still quicker than a 'normal' automatic transmission, DCT is a different story and probably can't be beat by anyone shifting manually.

I got to do it in school way back, it was fun. In many ways it's very simple, and many of them have 'secrets' where you could successfully rebuild it to work, or rebuild it to work really well for a really long time. Almost all of them require some level of specialty tools. The worst part might be the fact that you won't know if it works 'till it's back in the car. I have a pretty solid understanding of how they work and have repaired several, but I generally won't go any further in than the valve body. If you're at all interested, I still have the manuals from my auto tranny class you can have. Not the same as doing it, but they do show the full procedures. IIRC it's two fairly thin manuals, the classroom one and the shop manual, shouldn't cost much to ship. They're probably littered with my ignorant scribbles professional notes. I took the class around 1988-90 so there won't be any later stuff in the manuals.

If it could be connected there's a good chance of smoke, but I think the connectors are different.

"Fits '97-'03" So if I put that into my '97 it becomes EFI and I no longer have to use the choke?!? I'm buying!!!!

I can't imagine any way that it could.

Yup yup yup...especially if she can get deals on motor oil.

One owner, photo shows the odometer, damage/needed repairs outlined...I trust it more than I trusted "like new super low miles!"

$60 shipped to 91745. I hate to be a lowballer to a brother, but I just don't need them enough to justify paying what they're worth. Please take your time to see if someone ponies up more and only take my offer after the wife leaves you....unless you like her, then do it just before she leaves you. Make sure she knows it was a painful giveaway, should be worth a blowy.

A second fan would have eaten the battery even faster, something to consider.

Thanks, that makes more sense.

The stator doesn't seem to be a problem with these, but the rotor goes out around 50k miles, this bike has 55k and a dead rotor. I found a new OEM on ebay and it's on it's way.

I'll describe how each fits me so you can get an idea. I'm almost 6' with a 33-34" waist. I have no idea how to price this stuff, let me know what's reasonable. Two piece suit, zips together. I bought it at a yard sale way back, guessing mid '90s, and later had a leather guy recondition it. Fits me pretty well, maybe a little short, but it works. I assume it's women's, the zipper is on the wrong side. Thunderwear brand, marked size 54, fits about like a 42 men's. Been sitting unused in the closet around 10 years, probably more. There's just a little extra room in the waist, fairly roomy in the hips/ass for bending over. Pants only, pretty old. I got them used many years ago. They're quite snug in the waist and pretty short for my legs. No tag I can find. Marked size 42. No brand label, marked "sample" on the inside. Got it from a friend many years ago. Fits me well. It has both halves of a zipper around the bottom to attach to pants if desired. Zipper pull tabs are missing on the main zipper, front vents, and one sleeve. Road rash in close up photo. Fits me well. The leather is stiffer than all the others. I don't know if it just needs conditioning or it was an up tight cow. Removable Thinsulate liner. Size 42 long. Fits me well, feels like an old friend...I got it new, guessing early 80's. I'm tempted to keep it, not totally sure.

Fuses can develop a hairline crack that's hard to see, test it with a meter to be sure.
