Installed some remanufactured calipers on the project 99 2.3T S70 Auto. Had a fun time when i pushed the brake pedal without closing the bleed valves on the two front calipers. Needless to say i will need to bleed the whole system before testing it again.

DOH

Finally got the starter out of the T5 after a no-crank, no-start situation, bench tested it, and it was fine. Put everything back together, and it started right up.

Ahh... one of those fun intermittent issues. It seems everything that goes wrong on my cars is like that!

I did that once with my 850 starter. It was a connection issue ( but not the kind that makes sparks luckily!)

Today I finished polishing all the big panels, some little spots to finish. Looks so much better red than pink.

Oil change (Castrol GTX 10-30 for the winter), flushed out 3 qts of ATF (pretty dark), new wipers, couple of little things.

As I was poking around under there, I saw that quite a bit of oil is coming down the front / intake side of the block and blowing back across the pan. Not the pan gasket, it looks to be pretty high. Better light and a mirror tomorrow.

What’s up there under the intake that has oil pressure? Does the pcv box have any pressure?.. It’s just a vapor separator. Head gasket? (OH NO MR BILL...) hmm.

It may be one of the rear cam seals letting the oil trickle down. Those leaks tend to travel.

Like on the distributor end?
