Hey Steve, can you link to that thread you mentioned? I did some searching but I'm not finding anything worthwhile.
@Beaner: I agree. There's no reason he should have problems, but he is anyway. I know he's a good mechanic. Heck he's build 700hp drag cars from the ground up. I think the problem is that he is a "by the book" kinda guy and is an old-school MOPAR guy. When he sees foreign cars, I think his blood pressure goes up and he gets a mental block.
I wish I hadn't taken it to him. But he's a friend and I don't want to insult him by pulling it out from under him now. Heck, if I had a lift, I'm sure I could get it out. I've always been good at taking things apart. It's the putting-back-together part that troubles me.
@Doc: the only thing keeping me from having you do it is the 7 hour one-way commute! Let me know if you have a run out my way and an empty trailer going back. I'll put the XF in there and you can call me to come get it!
