No ****. That one piece looks huge. What did you drop down into the engine?


I don't know which engine is which in the alphabet soup of Gen III/IV engines, but make sure you buy something that is compatible with your ECM & harness. Like reluctor wheel, whatever.

not a clue what got down there. all the bolts i took out went back into there spots. well except for the egr bolts which the 3 bolts are sitting on my workbench so who knows wtf happened. im still debating weather or not to pull the heads to see. ill probably just bring the beat motor home after josh pulls it out and ill do the tear down to see how bad it is.
