That's what Peter at SMB told me it was for as well. Just cant believe for one minute that, that plate would stop a mechanic from servicing a know serviceable part like an injector? I still think the mechanic was just looking for ways to not do the complete job I asked for. Now they did say that removing the engine for the bullet proofing was extremely tight. They were using the Ford factory mount to lift and remove the engine from the van and they did comment on how tight it was getting it out because of that plate?
Anyways its running good
, this will give me some time to track down a mechanic who can deal with these vans.
