Venting today:

You know that plastic log attached to the head below the intake for hoses, one of the hoses sprung a leak. So I got a new hose and starting tearing into it.

I had pulled the injectors/tree/fuel rail and decide to replace the tree. Pop, nipple on one of the injectors breaks off. No problem, that's what JB Weld is for.

I pulled the top 1/2 intake assembly off, loosened the hose in order to swap it, then pop, little piece of the plastic log broke.

OK, no problem. Ordered a new log, it was due anyway. New log arrives, and I start disconnecting the plugs and wire spaghetti inside the lower 1/2 manifold, then pop. The ****ing plastic housing on the starter solenoid brakes off at the + stud.

****ing kidding me.

435K miles, was getting 30mpg. I'm getting my courage up to swap out the starter and put EVERYTHING back together.
