Reservoir
Changed oil to reotella 15 w 40. Cleaned the driver side sai valv, Maf and throttle body. My p1415 is gone. For the time being.
Then I figured I would give it a bleed, which or cracked the lower nipple on the tank. Then I had to run to home depot and for a 1/4 brass nipple to epoxy in. When I pulled out the TB hose broke of course. Luckily the over flow hose has some extra 5/16" to give. It is never easy. However, dare I saw my repair may be permenant. Epoxy the nipple in and shore it up wirh jb weld. One of my better repairs for sure.

Not today, but last weekend: I had developed an exhaust leak, and between my job, projects at home, and my family I didn't have the time to search for it. So, for the sake of time, I ran to a shop I deal with at work for a quick "throw it on the rack and find the leak" at no cost. Their diagnosis: cracked Y-pipe at the manifold flange. I had been rear ended the other year and lost my rear resonator in the process, so I thought maybe that had stressed the flange.
Got a used Y-pipe delivered and pulled my original. No cracks, just two loose manifold studs and leaking from the gasket. Tried to remove the pipe to muffler flange studs which we cut. After 4 drill bits, I gave up. Swapped O2 sensors onto the new used pipe, removed heat shield from old and welded to new and installed.
Only broke one crossmember bolt. 3 out of 4 is good enough.

Finally getting my heads back on my Discovery II. Started 1 year ago. Got it moved in the garage, torn heads down ordered my parts. Took my youngest girl to an ice skating party and fell broke/snapped the main bone just past my elbow in my forearm. Had to have surgery and still have two pins in my arm from it. While it still bothers me at night I'm finally strong enough to get this thing back together. Got one head on today and hopefully the other tomorrow. Probably will have to watch my RAVE much closer since I took it apart a year ago LOL. Get that back together my next project will be getting the headliner down and painted.
