What did you do to your car today?

Tore the tranny down to do a internal inspection and part upgrade

Changed spark plugs. Went with Motorcraft. Two on the right (passenger) side were slightly loose. Torqued the new ones to 160 inch pounds. Maybe I'll re-check them this summer.
 
those look like standard heat checks from the die cast tool. common after so many 1300 degree aluminum, shots are run thru the tool. every die cast tool gets them, generally not an issue. I've built andcrrpaired die cast tools for 10 years before I went strictly plastic injection molds.
 
Finally replaced my custom fuel rails that I broke the mounts off of with nice new Aeromotives. No more leaks [emoji4]

Then I drove it around the block so I can say I drove it this week. [emoji1303]

Well it's been a long time coming and with the cabin fever setting in I decided it was time to warm up the garage and boost blue.
Had help from trilogy, ups, Amazon, McMaster Carr, a couple members via texts etc., but most importantly my son and brother.
Still tying up loose ends but almost there.
Here are a few pics from along the way so far.

Fwiw cover open holes when handling bolts.
Dropped that M8x30 hex bolt and that sucker went straight into the cot hole. Talk about close calls :eek:

He's quite photogenic but unfortunately he's taken. I asked if he could just be borrowed then but I didn't get an answer, weird......
