Nope that valley pan is sure to be the problem again!

I'm just kidding. Seems like you have everything in order. And as for time, you are right, whether you do it now or next year, you;re still doin' it. Have fun with it!
Oh and another thing, your 4.6, now is that engine the same as the 4.4 just a bigger bore? I was trying to find out the differences between the 4.4 engine and 4.6/4.8.
That and what the difference was between the m62 and N62. I am getting an itch to get a 4.8is, but wanted to know if the engines were the same, just a bigger displacement. If you have any thoughts, let me know.
Thanks.
