I took the 4.6is in right before Xmas and after three weeks (lost ten days with the holidays) she is like brand new. I had the oil separator and hoses replaced and surprisingly ithere was not have a lot of gunk in it. The valve cover gasket was showing some seepage so I had them replace that.

The valley pan gasket was the culprit for the burned coolant smell I was experiencing upon start up. So that too was replaced. She is nine years old and has 91K miles so I decided to replace the water pump, thermostat, and all coolant hoses, and of course a coolant flush.

I was just starting to notice the seal on the differnential was begining to leak so that too was replaced.

I had lived with this slighgt wobble I would get upon hard breaking at higher speeds since I bought her three years ago. I had them mike (sp?) the rotors and sure enought they were slightly warped. There was enough metal to turn the rotors so now the wobble is gone and she runs like new.

All of this was done at an Indy shop I have been real pleased with. Total cost for all of this was $3525 including all parts and labor. I thought it best to try to replace the oil separator, valve cover gaskets, and valley pan gasket at the same time since a lot of the labor has to be repeated to do each one.

I think the price was fair. What do you all think?
