    Noticed the crusty green ground strap. I'd change that out. I just watched South Main Auto Channel and Eric did a video on a 2019 Silverado that had all kinds of electrical issues and it turned out to be a corroded body to frame ground strap that fell apart in his hand.

    Hey John, that ground strap is all green. You should change it now. Before grounds start looking for other places to ground.

    Not that I'm thinking about replacing either my 08 Box S LE or my 08 Cayman S Sport, but thought the F-type coupe & conv would be suitable replacements. They're both so sexy. After watching this series, no way I'd ever do that. Thanks John Ross for saving me from a huge mistake and disaster.

    I'm not sure how you find the energy to put these hours in but real glad you do. Tantalisingly close now, and I'm sure there will be a few software glitches on start up, but nothing much in the grand scheme. Good luck and hope all goes well because boy do you deserve it too.

    Looking forward to the 3.0T teardown. I have two, one that sips oil (66k miles), might need a qt during 5k oil changes if driven hard. The other guzzles oil (130k miles), needs a qt for just about every gas fill up.

    Suggestion on a better option to stand on, other than a stool. Lowes has a Kobalt stepladder for around 100-150 bucks that’s super lightweight and stable.

  • @skeelo69

    I think your biggest error as concerning alignment was you did not apply tape on the floor for the exact position of the trolley when you removed the engine....could have made life easier for you.

    Have you thought for the next time you're putting an engine in on a car.
    When trying to guide the shocks in run a length of rope and feed the rope through the central hole and it should allow you to put the suspension in the right place.
