Chrome is okay, it's clunky slow, still trying to smooth out scroll. Hope they fix the FF problem.

Being as tech savvy as you are, Brew, I find it surprising you like FF better. I've done several tests over the years, and Chrome has always used less resources. I also use several features for Chrome that you just can't find on FF. Chrome Remote Desktop and Casting are two major features that I use weekly.


Soooo... I read that it is very common to find the timing on a 5.4 3V 180 degrees off on the cams. Both of these motors my Buddy has had have been just that. I just don't know how the hell it even runs. I got this pic tonight of it all in time. So, new M360 pump, chains, guides, tensioners, phasers, crank position tone ring, and timing control solenoids.

Yea, I favor FF over Chrome, I don't use features you do, but if I did....prob be a different story. I just got a big speed jump with chrome...haven't had that much time to fool with today. Yea, I didn't have Logitech smooth scrolling worked into Chrome. That took care of it. Mannn, I almost forgot how plain and ugly a bare bones browser looks. I gave both Chrome and FF a facelift over a decade ago and haven't had to screw with it. They look so much different than bare bones lol. I imagine you tweaked yours for a better look at some point...the original look just doesn't cut it. Chrome has been my second for a long time, it was also my first years ago. Surprised the personalization has lasted as long as it has without issues with apps and add-ons. I'm probably going to stick with Chrome for awhile now...it's a lot less irritating from this morning lol.

LOL, I also like you can get right into Google's front end and see about anything you want to. Go to chrome://chrome-urls/ and have a look if you haven't already. Here's a list of what they do (attached).

I need to Helicoil one of the holes for a valve cover on the Mustang, and found this article while looking up some info. It describes the differences between Helicoil, TimeSert and KeenSert solutions. Maybe you Thinkers already know this, but I'd not seen it detailed like this before.

Been cleaning stuff up. I used the Evapo Rust after I put paint stripper on it FIVE times. Dude put it on THICK that had the GT40 intake before me. I can't wait to get it painted in "Aluminum Silver".

GT40 tubular, or Explorer? If the former, I hate you.
