    Fixed one of my oil leaks today. Pulled the valve cover gasket off to discover it in 2 pieces...exciting. Anyway since the cover was off anyway I figured I might as well paint it so I grabbed some duplicolor ford blue and sprayed it on. Looks a whole lot better now. Think I'm gonna paint the upper intake at some point but I dunno right now
    Aaaand I forgot to take a picture so I'll do that tomorrow

    Hooray for electrical problems. Last night it cranked over once and then wouldn't start...then today I throw in a new starter and still nothing. Waiting for a ride right now to get a new solenoid, hopefully that's the issue. Other than that I don't really know what it could be. All connections appear good, grounds are solid

    Bypass the solenoid with pliers to test.
    Could be crank wire from ignition switch.
    Use test light on small wire that's on side of solenoid when cranking.
    The ignition switch may have security torx screws.

    I found the problem. Replaced the starter, solenoid, ignition switch, and finally figured out that it was the clutch rod switch
