[@johnschuler3269]

Pretty simple, but still helpful. One concern. You had to remove a ton of hdwe to get all the plugs and wires "Off". In normal shop ... or even at home in a DIY scenario ... MUCH Better to have changed all the wires for perhaps $20 and an extra 10 MINUTES ... to avoid a PAINFUL "REPEAT" !!!

[@walterward8164]

Scotty you do have that minimalist plan going on. My father was like; if one hose is rotted they all are. If one plug wire fails the rest are right behind. Plugs same philosophy. It you want to keep it .Finnish the job. And our FLEX is now getting at least 10 percent better gas mileage and the CAT readings on the BLUEDRIVER are on the improvement trend too.

That bracket that was in the way probably does something like hold the cable off a hot engine part. I had power steering lines changed on my old Taurus, and the mechanic did not put back a bracket that held the lines away from an exhaust manifold. The hoses burned through on the way home.

Check your valve clearance. Mine was ok until 228,000 miles when it burned an exhaust valve seat because the valves had never been adjusted. The maintenance schedule says to check the valve clearance every 30,000 miles. Neglecting it is almost always the demise of the engines. Worst thing for me is I knew it would happen but kept waiting. Cost me $1500 and I got a good deal. Some people pay up to $3500 to rebuild the head.

Those big Detroit cars that my friends and I had back when we were in our teens and early 20s could backfire on demand. All you had to do was turn it off in gear while driving it, wait a second or two, and then turn it back on. You would get a very loud bang along with a three foot flame and sparks shooting out the exhaust. You just have to love standard ignition. Too bad you can't do that on cars today.
