Whelp.. finally got the Wuhan flu so probably chicken noodle soup ?.
Not a bad run though.. 4 years later.. evil unvaxx'd habitual nail biter who doesn't wash their hands enough lol
Funny thing about that is... they don't change what NEEDS to be changed.
2 decades later ford still can't make a decent v-motor cam synchro.. and these days the motor needs to be removed to replace them ?‍♀️
The stupid wet belt and inevitable cam synchro headaches are why I bought a 2.3 bronco.
So.. the rangers almost ready to take out on the road again. Exhaust is finally 100% after the installation of new sensors last weekend.. and the ol gals running better than it ever has since I bought it.

Start checking for health of turbo around 100k.
Were finally ALL DONE besides wrenching on an autozone exhaust tip which I've yet to buy.
Hopefully next weekend I can throw the rest of it back together and see what it sounds like bouncing off the limiter.. while I grunt and giggle like a caveman ?
