Slacker....

Im changing heads on an 05 mustang gt 4.6 3v(valves are shot)..... customer thought he could do those stupid plugs(same kind as the 5.4 3v) and screwed up big time.....he broke all 8 and never vacuumed the pieces out and ran it(I don't know the full story).....he might be looking at a new block and pistons too....

The gear lube and oil tends to be a little on the thick side when it's cold. The trucks been plugged in over night and the oil has been in a heated garage so I shouldn't have any problems.

Looks like a good deal....

I always use Yukon gears and never had any issues....the best place to find them is rand's ring and pinion
