Thanks for entering my thread, first take a look at the plugs I just removed... They are the stock Motorcraft AGSF-22FM1 platinum/iridium narrow electrode plugs gapped at .054
I replaced them with Motorcraft AGSF-12FM1 platinum/iridium narrow electrode plugs gapped at .035 These plugs are one step colder than stock due to the fact that the stock head coolant circulation sucks and the heads tend to get very hot and go to f'n crap... So one needs all the 'cool' one can get But I digress...
Anyways, these are the original plugs and have 23k miles on them. Let me know if you can 'read' anything from them

Ok, in the next set of pics just observe the preventitive maintenance master as he replaces all the loose crappy electrical tape on the ribbed tubing protecting the vacuum lines. There are numerous vacuum lines, I zipped tied them all...

Check out how I painted the little vent cap on the cooling system. I painted it high temp Ford red with spray paint.

Ok, the next pics get a little sad and if you can help me figure out this puzzle I would appreciate it. There is a cut gash in one of the main wiring harnesses WTF? I tried to heal the gash with more blue zip ties... Yes, I really like blue zip ties

And finally look at this situation. Water collects in the battery hold down. You can see it gleaming down there Should I drill weep holes or simply fill in the voids where the water collects with silicone?
