Stinkin' Lincoln update
2 years ago
There I was, minding my own business, and my intake plenum cracked down the middle.
My poor, poor Lincoln Town Car! Coolant went everywhere . . . This cannot stand!
Got it towed to a shop, the estimate I got was ridiculous. $3k ridiculous.
Fuck that, I can fix this.
I ordered the parts I need, plus some specialty tools, which cost me a total of $380. I will be repairing my car tomorrow.
This is my first time attempting such a major repair, and my mechanic friend is going to be there to assist me.
I'm going to need to remove the alternator, throttle control, and entire intake manifold in order to repair this. I am also going to install a new thermostat and fuel pump while I'm at it.
Wish me luck - I'll take photos during the job so people can see the progress!
