A polite bigot is a bigot nonetheless. A true warrior knows that courteous words do not dilute the poison, but only serve to conceal it until it has spread. Civility in the service of hate deserves no polite response.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

Forgot to post that I got the valve covers back in and a lot of the wiring reconnected, sadly much of my day yesterday was spent on boring training and driving north for work, so I had to tell my productive mode brain no more.....

Timing cover is back on and the motor mount has been installed again, that was the goal because I didn't really wanna leave it supported by a jack for an extended period of time, kind of annoying that unlike the 2.3 inline 4 version, the 3.0 doesn't have anywhere to support from up top.

In contrast to the unbendable and incredibly brittle old seals XD

One of the "rubber" seals came out in pieces, it feels more like hard plastic than rubber, I may have been onto something......

Timing cover finally out and it's telling from how much oil leaked out from the bolts how bad these seals are, they're about as flat as a flat fuck on flat fuck Friday.
Also unsure if I may have a leak at the power steering pump, but that's a later issue.

I love having to modify new tools to make them work, that but that has been ground to hell is meant to go into the piece under it, guess what it didn't do :3 The other end for installing the balancer fit just fine, for some reason this side was 0.020" thicker.....

Put this little shit in sky jail to finally get some work done so I can start driving it again instead of my dad's Ranger. Only broke one fastener pulling the exhaust cross over, too bad it was for the cross member under it :3 Yay for making my life harder! Also ran into some parts to replace.

Was starting to feel stressed out and needed to do something that felt like I was making progress, ended up finally cleaning up in my garage, apparently there was something under all the crap on my various boxes.
Didn't manage to find my missing inflator gauge though, which is annoying.

Cause of course I needed more tools to do the work I have planned, you'd think the exuberant amount I already have would be enough, thankfully caught the last day of this being on sale.
There were cheaper options, but now I can scare away future work by being ready for it.

Niece's cat repaired, hopefully it stays that way for a bit, and hopefully my luck with parts improves that's the third thing in like a week with some kind of issue.
To be fair the shipper messed up the exhaust, but the tensioner for the Cheescape and those brake lines....

Really cool the new lines don't have a groove for the clip, time for sketchy cutting disc surgery!

Little arsehole is back together and oil changed, that's two "quick" maintenance jobs that spiraled into far more than they should have these days off.

Ever hate your past self? That's where the leak was, behind the AC compressor/power steering bracket, wanna guess why the timing cover was leaking?
Some dummy (it's me) didn't torque the bolts going through the water pump to the timing cover properly. Fixed that and wow, no leaks!

Rule one of working on things, never assume a quick job will be quick.....
Ranger has another coolant leak, looks like the timing cover, which is behind the pump I just changed, it passed a pressure test when I did the pump, but it's a pretty steady leak.

Next up in sky jail.
Just an oil change, but I wanna take a look at some stuff before winter, especially since I'm probably driving this thing until November with the repairs to my daily, good winter tires are important when you drive 4 hours of highway every 4 days

Put shinies on niece's car, calipers and brackets were rusted to hell and back, most of the work was cleaning that up so things would move again XD
Also did the glow plugs, but that took like 10 minutes so no pics.

Shiny bits installed in the Cheescape™ today, hard to see the water pump behind it's pulley, and I ended up pulling the tensioner out because it made almost as much noise as the faulty one, gonna go with something different, for now the one from my car is back in until then.
