Re: Operation Rescue, 2004 Mach 1

Hey, this happened yesterday, as promised, but I had issues uploading the video. Please ignore my ugly mug. I was not born for TV. Anyways, here you go!

I actually didn't mean for it to start when it did. I let off the ignition so I could look it over and make sure there wasn't an issue with the belt routing or a fluid leaking already. However, a few of the cylinders took off, and you can see the rest for yourself in the video!

It was a nervous few seconds there as it was running on partial cylinders and I could hear the dry engine going round. But then, oil made its way to everything, all the cylinders hit, and it calmed down real well.

I do, however, have one leak that was discovered almost immediately after the video ended. Looks like it's coming from the water/oil cooler on the side.






Hard to see in those photos, but I'll have to look at it after Christmas. I leave in a few hours for another family get together.

Merry Christmas guys and thanks for everything you've done to get me to this point!
