The water pump was leaking from its first gasket at the top. Later, a pressure test showed seeping from the thermostat gasket, so they were replaced. Both nuts for the misfire sensor shield were over-tightened (probably when the water pump was replac...

I assume the O-ring allowed contamination into the tank, eventually causing the pump motor to run VERY hot. When it ran long enough (on a long drive), I guess it got hot enough to boil the gas out of the reservoir, causing the stall until the fuel ha...

The oil change was several months & hundred miles overdue. With the Fumoto F106, oil changes are now toolless. Some people worry that the valve could be broken off while off-roading. But as the pics sh...

Engine code label is too dirty to read; almost too much to see. After rinsing the dirt off, the printing is gone.
