Oh well, I guess I'm the biggest idiot on CEG. My CSVT is now completely ruined cause I used cheap over cleaner on my engine. I guess I might as well take it to the junkyard. It could break down at any second, guess I'd better quit driving it.  BTW, no scrubbing required, the over cleaner broke up the carbon buildup so well, that the pressure washer cleaned it up really well. And this wasnt my idea, one of the cool Canadian CEG'ers told me about it. I was so frustrated at the expensive Berryman's that I was desperate for anything. Anyways, let us know how it comes out!!!

I finished the disassembly last night in ~1 hour 15 minutes. Piece of cake. I cleaned all the gasket material off and realized that I didn't have the proper 1/2" drive to 1/4" drive adapter for my torque wrench, all the parts stores were closed, so there was no reassembly last night. It's good I guess, because I didn't get around to cleaning the UIM/LIM's yet.
Get this. The sparkplugs are supposed to be gapped @ 1.3mm (.052). Well all the ones I pulled looked HORRIBLE, and were gapped at ~1.8mm. My guage only goes to 2mm LMAO. Uh, I believe they were in dire need of being changed.
Also...about the UIM/LIM gaskets. I pulled them off, they looked kinda old and of course dirty, but if they were leaking wouldn't there be a crack in them somewhere, or some sort of obvious to the eye defect? Or no?

I was guessing worse-case-scenario.

No they don't have to have a visible crack. They get old and warp etc. Easier to change plugs too with everything off. You got some Autolite APP764's to put back in right? The required double plat if you don't want to go with the more expensive ford double's.
