    I like to use marine grade shrink wrap. It's lined with what looks like hot glue. When it shrinks the glue melts and gives your joint extra protection.

    I apologize for saying "knock sensor wire." That's actually underneath the area you were working on. Glad you got fixed.

    Nah, that pic is about a year in the past. No problem now.

    However, if you ever get an odd coolant leak that's not the radiator or its hoses, it could be that the FIPG has failed where that water bypass pipe bolts in; the original focus of that picture was that leak. (But the pic also shows the knock sensor wire, which I did replace while the intake was off.)

    Automatic. Runs fine. It was recommended here to replace it.

    Dunno. Around 1,000 to 1,100 I'd guess. I'll try to pay attention to it next time I crank it.
