We have to start somewhere and I figure to review the refresh thread I had going on VFRD...It was going on 4 pages so I'll add things bit by bit....
So with that... from the beginning...
The whole ordeal started when I was getting whifs of smell of collant...So, a strip down.....
Found the leakers...
And since I am anal, I just HAD to grab the AS3 Silicone hose set!
Staying organized...
More later

Keep it going mello dude!
Regarding your pictures: you can upload them to this server. There is no need to put them somewhere else (only will result in not being available in the future probably).
And yes, the like button, spend quite some time, but no luck yet!
(extension 'Naguissa/thanks_for_posts' didn't work properly and no alternative or solution yet), see
here.

A while I'm at it...new hoses for the throttle bodies, new insulators..
Replacing OEM screws on the TB clamps with socket heads...
This flex shaft tool is a must to cinch down the near blind locations of the screws on the clamps of the TBs.
Mirror to see around things was huge too... (A 3rd hand to hold a flashlight would have been great too.)
Installed...
Next time
