Improperly installed injector clip on #6, injector worked itself out of the fuel rail and sprayed the engine compartment.

Add a new windshield washer reservoir to the parts order!

There's nothing like a good engine fire to motivate a guy to completely refresh the engine compartment.



Here's my before and afters:

Ted, your lucky day. This one's me. Have no use for it. After the driver's side became tighter and caused the fuse to blow a few times I upgraded to the Police Taurus HD fans. Other side is silky smooth.

Send me a PM when you want to pick it up.
