is that the going rate for methanol these days? local place here mixes their own for ~$28/pale.

The nearest speed shop quoted me $50.00 for a pale as the prices can fluctuate a bit depending on location/area.
I would verify its an authorized VP dealer prior to purchase IMO.  Z

Where are you getting you Methanol mix from? I pay 45 and some change for M1 here in the Springs and have a few empty containers maybe I can have them mix up an 75/25 mix AJP has me tuned for.

i made a personal decision not to use meth a while ago. lol. that being said i like knowing i have a good dealer close by. in case of a relapse.
Hill Petroleum in arvada. I doubt they can make custom blends as i believe they mix full strength in large quantities. they supply bandimere with methanol and race gases as well. email them with any Q's. they're extremely helpful. i've received emails directly from troy hill, the executive VP on general inquiries before. quality people

Do you daily drive your sho? IIRC you purchased 15 gallons of that stuff when you had the DPI Meth kit put on...

Correct!  DD with roughy 5-6 key on startups per day,primarily city driving which limits the use of Methanol consumption,combined with speed cameras enforced every couple of miles.  Z
 
Added 30W LED's & Sockets to the PI (For Stop Lights Only), Relay and
Wiring to Complete this.(under 25.00). Took longer than it Should,
But the Result:

Changed the spark plugs, washed, and put a coat of sealant on the MKS today.

Had a funny thought about the plugs.  When this platform came out the owners and tuners realized the need for colder plugs.  Then Ford changes to colder plugs.  Owners/tuners also saw a need for smaller plug gaps.  Ford has now changed the plug gaps.  Last time I did the plugs, I had to close the gap on the ones I bought from the dealership to bring them to .030.  The new plugs I got yesterday were .030 out of the box.

Also found some oil on the backside of the motor while laying under it to retrieve the little red tab on the coil plug that I dropped.  Hard to see where exactly it's coming from.  My best guess is rear turbo, but not sure.  I'll take it to Ford and let them look it over.  Could be the rear valve cover gasket.  No oil in the wells, but could be an outside leak.
 
Hope it is something covered by warranty, is all I can say.  Hoses, BOVs, oil feed lines, and valve cover gasket leaks have all contributed to this in the past.  Good luck!
 
Agree!  It's a CPO, so pretty sure I'm good.  Depending on activation date, it might even still be under the 4 yr/50k mile original warranty.  It's at 49k miles.

I have three things for them to look at.  1. Oil leak.  2. Rear view mirror is falling off for the second time.  3. Low rpm, light load stutter.

Might as well have them attempt to address the stutter again.  This time I will take it to a Ford dealer.  I know the driveline tech and one of the service writers there, so I'll see what they come up with.

It's looking mighty good all polished up.  I'm predicting a monsoon tomorrow.  Clean car brings bad weather.  LOL
