Getting started!

After a long weekend of planning, digesting much needed advice and reading a lot of other people's stories about successes and failures from the Internet and trying to convince my wife that 'I really know what I'm doing!' (I lied to her when I told her that, but she also lied to me when she said she believed me), I finally started!

Unfortunately, Jeff's dad passed away just two days before starting this repair. You may remember Jeff, the friend who wanted to help me with this repair. Very sad for him, but also for me, since I had to do this repair all by myself :(

imgThere I was, looking at a dirty engine that leaks a lot of coolant inside and out.. Here is how I did it and this is MY sequence, you might do it a different way, it's up to you. Also note that I have skipped minor steps, like removing cables, hoses, connectors, etc.

There is a total of 32 steps..
