Torque converter install

It's been a long time since anything has changed on the G8
Installed a Circle D 3DP 3800rpm stall converter, Trucool 40k BTU trans cooler and factory style headlights. Unexpectedly had to replace the center support bearing 
Trying to figure out the best place to mount the cooler and I read someone removed the washer fluid reservoir it's a weird design. Removed that and it's almost a perfect fit. Trimmed a few areas and the cooler fits nicely

Deep cleaned the interior of the family hauler

Wiped down the interior with dawn and water, some spots used chemical guys interior cleaner, steam cleaned the carpet, removed stains and candy and shampooed the carpet.


I couldn't leave the outside untouched. Cleaned the wheels with PB wheel cleaner, various brushes and dawn dish soap, cleaned the paint with C Quartz iron x soap in a foam Cannon and then used C Quartz hydro again though a foam Cannon

Continuing maintenance on the daily

Replaced the lower abs right side engine mounts today. The rust made it huge task. Also replaced the fuel filter but sure when or if this was ever replaced. It was a pain to get the connectors off that's for sure.

More maintenance on the Odyssey

The purge valve was making a ticking noise, the PCV valve is 12 yrs old and 145k miles and after reading about the problems with Honda and the VCM I decided to install the S-VCM delete kit. While under the hood cleaned all the plastic.
