I'll be there probably around 10ish. We'll have to make a beer run in the afternoon as my supplies are limited. I'll see if we can collect a torque wrench from crappy tire on the way.
Whoever's coming should post here if they can to confirm the number of people to be expected.

Afraid I can't make it because one of my drivers cars broke down tonight so I can't sneak my way out of my shift especially now. Thats O.K. though because Fraud just rapped me $363.00 for a egr service.  (1 $12.00 bottle of carb cleaner  ) This was needed to get arid of the CEL I was having. so much for a freakin warranty that covers nothing. :rolleyes: To top it off the Carb cleaner managed to screw up the IAC.  So the long and short is 2 trips to Ford and $363.00 dollars later I gained back my lost performance I think and I'm now sure that I need to clean my intakes. Guess I'm gonna have to do it on my own. Good luck to all whom psrtske in this endevor.

Carb cleaner and throttle body cleaner are two very different things. Carb cleaner is great when the manifold is off the car but it also dissolves plastic and rubber (not good for o-rings, gaskets, or plastic valves).
If you want to set up a second date let me know or give me a ring on the mobile when you're done work. Depending on how many people show up we might be there for a while.

Well I must say working on an engine for 12 hours is really tiring work! I feel like I just came back from a kickboxing tournament and I lost big time! I learnt a lot thanks to Dana, got dirty thanks to Dana, and probably with alot of head scratching I could probably do it again. The car pulls much nicer now, not to mention there is a lot more thump when going WOT! Though there were some tense moments when I stepped on some bubble wrap, everything went well. Though I'm pretty sure Dana was sometimes annoyed when he asked for a tool, and I would give him a blank stare. Though that was quickly solved with terminilogy like, "the metal thingy with the black handle" "OOhhh I knew tat"
I must personally thank Dana and his lovely wife Hazel, they were great company and without them I would of never attemted such a project.
Ghosst 5 stars for you!

No problem at all Martin. I'm glad you like the difference a good intake cleaning makes in the car. I'm also glad that pesky oil leak has finally ceased in mine.
I haven't downloaded the pics from my camera yet, but they'll be posted soon. In the meantime, we should plan out another cleaning day since the GTA is now up to three trained Duratec mechanics: Snuckums, Martin S, and Chris W.
Five stars for you too, excellent choice in lager!
