Might have got away with it. Fingers crossed.
Marty reckons you'll never know if there is damage until something shots itself.
The mobile mechanic Marty stock was awesome. Even pointed out a few prevention issues with the ranger motors and the little coolant pipe that can rub a hole on a metal part and dump your coolant and cook your motor. Good to know.
Shouted myself a lotto ticket. Might get some sleep tonight.

That the one at the front of the block? Think Ford did a campaign on that early on?
