    I tore down my 5.0 MPI for some rust clean up and painting. I have a bracket that seems to not connect to anything and I guess I didn’t get a good pic on tear down... I drew in a filter for reference 😁

Intake has some pretty good corrosion in the well by the distributor and the port side valve cover is pretty rusty. Not sure how to determine what’s salvageable and what’s...

    Was a little hesitant to pull the motor just to clean things up and look things over but I’m glad I did. I could poke my finger through if I pushed real hard🙈

    Closed cooling goof

    i thought I had all the coolant out by removing the circulation pump inlet hose, but apparently I didn’t get it all out of the manifolds. When I pulled off the first elbow and riser (in preparation of pulling the motor) coolant got into the exhaust side of the manifold. Do I need to do anything...

    Occasional solid alarm/guardian issue

    I have a 2004 5.0 MPI (OM656133) that occasionally goes into guardian mode just as I'm easing out of no wake speed. The alarm is solid and I have to shift to neutral to clear. If I put the hammer down instead of easing the throttle up it doesn't go into alarm. I have not had it happen at any...
