X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Henn28, thanks!
It was a 3 month challenge. Mostly for being out of town for several weeks. Plus waiting on parts. Everything I could replace with the intake removed was replaced. I saved changing heater hoses to later. The hoses can be reached without removing the intake. The new expansion tank must have an issue with its magnets. Luckily, I have another new tank with a sensor. The current tank didn't have a sensor in the box. We drove it around I the rain all day yesterday. I like how it doesn't spin the wheels. Traction is instant. Our other two daily drivers spin the wheels too easily on wet roads.

The new Bosch starter spins the engine like a fidget spinner. It was easy to replace with the intake out. The left side should be trouble free for years!
