Replaced the exhaust manifold on my dad's 24 valve Cummins. He said it had a little crack in it. It came out in two pieces.
After four straight days of playing Mr. Mom with the kids and tactics teacher/tutor to my wife (who is on course until late June) - I finally have a moment of silence. A tall cup of Joe and some automotive periodicals are my moment of zen.
The next phase of Natasha's course starts tonight, and I will resume my duties. Her successes are my successes.
But, I need ear plugs.

That little John Deere is quickly turning into another project! I ordered a switch for the PTO clutch but with the grass up to my a$$ I decided to use a jumper wire in the plug and cut the grass tonight. It worked well at first i made a few laps around the yard had to empty the bags 2x then I looked down and the wire harness was smoking! Total melt down so what makes the wire harness over heat when the clutch is engaged everything seems to work fine but the wires want to burn. I went online and ordered the books on it but if anyone has some insight that would be great. It's a John Deere stx38
Got my XJ8 Jag motor back together, went for start up. Crank crank crank crank . Wouldn't start. Crap. Took the passenger cool pack cover off. One coil pack was little loose. Tighten it. put right Coil pack cover back on, go for start up crank crank crank.
It Catches and Starts! At Idle it runs really rough but I rev it up and it smooths out. Maybe it needs to learn. Shut It off, start it back up... rough at idle, smooth above 2000.
Crap. Go back and look for a pinched wire or a vacuum leak. Nothing on the right bank where I was working So I check the left bank..
oh. The entire injector harness for the left bank was unplugged and laying on the valve cover. Right where I put it 4 weeks ago. My 4.0 Liter V8 was a 2.0L Inline 4. Plugged it in. Car runs perfect.
T-type gets worked on tomorrow. Thursday is Miata day, Saturday back to the Jag.

Scored a new project on LetGo today.
I found a 96 S-10 Blazer with a blown up 4.3 for $400.
I will hopefully be sticking a 350 in over the summer. If I can find all the parts, this will get a CPFI setup just like the V6 that came out.

Nice! Now go enjoy the jag for the next 18k or so miles before it needs the next total overhaul service interval.
