well the good news is that when i do a project, i do it with you guys in mind so i can tell you if its worth it or not to put a knife in the electrical socket!!!
anywhos, taking a TB off isnt considered "taking the engine apart". i live 4 miles from a JY and have sources to another V6 as a backup, but luckily i dont need to right now.
and believe me. judging from how bad you miss the 10th gens, ill offer to sell you mine if i ever screw up
