However... that "boom" still took me another 3 hours and... I did learn a few new cuss words.

Tomorrow I'll tackle the new motor mount.

Just sayin...

G'nite.
Remember how it came out, putting it back in can seem a little confusing, especially if you reinstalled your coolant lines. If your primary coolant lines are still disconnected it’s easy, but if not, it takes some creative maneuvering to get it back in.
