Surprise during 2004 AOS change

High today was 0 degrees F and I was bored so I decided to start my AOS replacement this afternoon. Based on various forum research I expected to find allen head bolts, instead they are torx!

Short pause waiting on torx socket set and 1/4 6” extension delivery from Amazon (arrives tues). The oil you see in the pic is penetrating oil I applied. Everything was dry when I opened up the engine compartment. Dust is due to our road before we had the lime crusher and dust control applied.



More to come on my AOS replacement after I finish and test vacuum at the oil cap.
