What did you do with your DII today?

Just know that the problem may not actually be the head gasket but a pin hole in the piston wall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zLGbESGYRU&t=9s

On average, I did less than nothing. 😠
I installed my rebuilt front driveshaft. Drove it some and there was a slight vibration, then a crunch and then lots of vibration. One of the circlips must not have been all the way clicked in place. When I got under to take a look, one of the bearing cups was gone.
I removed my rebuilt front driveshaft.
A few days ago I noticed a drip of fresh ATF hanging from the tranny drain plug. I tried to snug it up just a bit tighter and the head twisted right off.
Today I got an easy-out and a bolt/crush washer to replace the plug. Took a drill to the (headless) plug and the drill grabbed it and twisted it right up into the pan. Went to put in the new bolt and learned that M10x1.5 is not the correct size. Must be 1.25.
Good news is that the 3 amigos are gone. My repaired SVS did the trick, I just had to wait a day or so. Snow in forecast; fingers crossed.

Well its certainly impressive to an IT geek like me. I continue to be in awe of all you guys who rip these engines apart every weekend and put them back together like lego blocks. As I have found out countless times, youtube is no replacement for experience!
