While working on your car…
Funny story actually. Finally had the time to get some needed work done on the Expy. She got a new SVT Lightning radiator, which is significantly larger than a stock Expedition radiator. Also added a Lincoln Navigator water pump, and a 180* t-stat. She got all new fluids (Mobil 1) in the differential, the crank case, and the trans. While I did that I changed the spark plugs as well. Now heres where the funny portion begins… While is was pulling the old plugs out and putting in the new ones I was talking to a buddy who was there helping me out at the same time. We get it put all back together, and bolted up, then go to start her up. **POP** and then there is smoke. I turned her off really quickly. I could not tell where it was coming from. I was stunned too. I figured out of everything we did, that area was the least likely place to have problems. They're just spark plugs, right!? Until you realize you forgot to put one in all together… It wasn't funny at the time, but now that its been corrected its kinda funny… A word of advice, just don't get distracted while you're working on your car.
