maf
valve cover
intake manifold
down the spark plug holes
coil packs

(this dumb cut wouldn't stop, guessing cause it was cold it gave it the "fountain" effect )

then all over:

4 race wheels
each caliper
all the brake pads
and finally:
4 street wheels


by this time grease and dirt some oil had sealed it up. Then I went inside and scrubbed it out and added a fancy bandaid!


Happy Friday!
Thanks for the write up STICKY

Nice, could be!..Good thing was I had my teeth fixed in 4hrs--- a quick lesson if you will. With lacerations its a ***** everytime you bend them and bump them. It matters not-- everyone gets their fair share if cuts and gashes..if your worth you weight at all as a mechanic. Think if it as a blood bond.. Ha.
