Glad I held off. You started it a couple of hours after the flight I was going to pick would have taken off.

I’m chasing down a coolant leak. Thought maybe bc I blocked off the coolant feed and return bc I’m not water cooling the turbos that had something to do with it. I looped them and same result. I did find a bad upper coolant hose, the hard plastic connecting parts, weeping coolant. So, picking up a new upper hose from Ford after work and, going to pull the intake and address the seal to the lower coolant pipe. IMG 2270
I have no issues with anything else. Wild I have this leak but, I guess something is pinched or did I install a seal upside down or miss one? Other than this, it’s ready to drive! Starts right up now….but after having nothing in the car and it being just a shell….I’ll take it!

I am hopefull it's just a gasket missing or something silly. Funny, I asked if you were gonna use silicone hoses or knew a fabricator who matched our car.

PS - I heard some Mercedes 800 hp members saying they can eat your car in the 1/4, just saying...

Which FB group is it? I will talk shit back, because I carry a big stick now.....I love that shit.
I was speaking in general terms. You’ll see someone posting something and let’s say it’s any car, say my car. Someone will say…my buddy’s CTS-V will smoke it….cool! Who cares.

I’m an expert now. So I remember now I second guessed this…bc all the other seals protrude a little and this one is basically flush. I think bc the seal was new, having it the way I started the car with, it was protruding slightly like the air valves …but after tightening the bolts….not so much and big leak. That’s how you become a professional…making all the mistakes haha! Damn! Spoiled my fun…will be all set now. IMG 2276
Take away: Don’t second guess yourself haha
