I remember I was trying to seal the vacuum leak being caused by my new TB and I snapped a bolt while tightening it. My heart just sank. Luckily the bolt snapped where I could get a pliers on it to pull it out.

Yeah, too many shiny things for me to see the big picture. Billy is really helping me learn stuff, it's hard not to when you are literally tearing down the engine piece by piece.

but this photo is of a V6 that sits sideways.. a V8 its easier to understand then smaller v6s and v4s are just smaller, less cylinders. an engine is quite easy to understand. its the little functions that need to be in the right place to run CORRECTLY and Right. lol
