Thanks everyone. I'll tear back into it this morning. Now I just have to figure out how to get to the lower one.

They don't appear to be loose in the inserts at all. What do you mean by "pull the bolt out with the cover"? Will it just rip loose with enough force? Any particular method recommended to get at them? Will just prying with a screwdriver under the cover do the job? Both of mine are on the driver...

I get the error code for the number eight cylinder not firing when it was raining cats and dogs. I began the process of replacing the plug and seals today but I can't get two of the screws out of the valve cover. The threaded copper insert in the valve cover spins forever with the screw. It...

Well, I am officially an idiot. I did pull the PS VC and replace my coil packs since I was in there. Also noticed the VC gasket was leaking oil into the rearmost plug recess. I couldn't see anything wrong so I put it all back together and cranked it up again. Now the racket was coming from all...

Those all are external. This sounds like it's internal to the engine. Could be wrong though.

it's a 2006 LS

Yesterday I replaced the water pump and thermostat. I filled everything up with coolant and started the car to begin the cooling system bleeding procedure. Initially (for the first 30 seconds) everything went as expected. Then I heard a really loud ticking from the front of the passenger side of...

Thanks. i'll give this a try. it's the front passenger.

I've bought both the dorman (i bought one for an older ls) and motorcraft regulator (supposedly for the 2006; wrla11) but neither have fit. anyone know the correct part number for the 2006? My motor is fine so i'd just like to bolt it to the regulator. neither of the ones i received had the...

Arghhh. Yep, I fooled myself. I've already ordered the part too. It was a bit low on water so i filled it back up. I even tested to see if that quart or so made a difference but it didn't. It still went straight to 225* within 10 minutes of idling. As soon as I started to drive the car it shot...

Mystery solved. My thermostat housing is cracked. When going through the bleeding process I saw the antifreeze leaking out through the neck of the filler tube. Bummer.

I had the dealer do the work. I guess they could have goofed it up but this only recently started. The work was done a couple of months ago. I'll probably just replace the thermostat for GP and bleed the system myself.

I read that about the thermostat in other posts. I saw that some folks are running at around 225 or so max. That said, I didn't find any older posts with temperatures as high as mine but they seemed to mostly be regarding cars with the hydraulic fan. Are my temps normal? It's getting almost up...

I've had my '06 LS V8 for about six months now. It has 102K and within the first 90 days cost me over $3000 in repair costs. The last was replacing the overflow (degas?) bottle over two months ago. About a week or so ago I noticed that the electric fan comes on once it warms up and never...
