Seized engine torque converter removal
Cut a “U” shape in the flexplate above each bolt, then cut the bolt heads off. With an acetylene torch, that is. Done this lots and lots of times.- Arcola

Ford F150 fuel induction service
Missed this detail. As others have indicated, this is a dual injected engine designed specifically to minimize carbon build-up on the valves. The service they're recommending is unnecessary on these engines. Certainly doesn't hurt to use a fuel "cleaning" additive once every 15k-30k miles, but...- Arcola

You’re welcome. It would be wise to do it, but don’t shy away from asking them about exactly how it is performed.- Arcola

Ford F150 fuel induction service
Because the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and never touches the valves, but carbon does develop on the top of the valves.- Arcola

Ford F150 fuel induction service
Should be done on direct injected engines. Not sure if yours is. Depends on the year. I’d ask details about how they do it. Hopefully not just a fuel additive. It should be run through the throttle body to take carbon off the valves.- Arcola

Fly rod info needed
I took a lesson at a local fly shop many years ago. Little tricks from an experienced instructor cut the learning curve dramatically. I passed those tips on to my boys and they both cast better than I do at 6yo and 10yo.- Arcola

Fly rod info needed
I'd echo most of the brands mentioned and I prefer to start newbies with 5 weight and slow to medium action. I'm a two piece fan, but i get it that four pieces are easier to transport. I'd also suggest 8'6" at a minimum (9ft is my preference).- Arcola

Pan head lubricant
@millerkiller77's suggestion about a viton o-ring is a great idea. Beyond that, a dry silicone or graphite lube is probably best. Next time it's needed, I'm going to try a PTFE lube (that I use on my bike chains)...- Arcola

“Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25
74yd broadhead cold shot yesterday. 2.75” high and right. Jumped in my truck and headed west 10 minutes later. A few more hours to drive this morning, and I’ll be hunting.
