    A little Rattle & Squeak deep down

    as a few of you know had a little problem with my engine maybe
    a few to many horses to the wheels any way she has a terminal illness
    am taking it apart a piece at a time to see what broke
    it is a 4.6 3 valve so this is a interesting project for me (above my pay grade) lol
    top looks good front looks ok so now the fun begins get it out and on the stand
    I've been taking pictures every step of the way so as soon as I shrink them down I will post
    them for all to see

    I know an easier way to fix that! Put the blower back on, pulley it up to about 18-20 PSI, wait for a rod to come out the side of the block, then order a FRPP Aluminator shortblock.
