torque converter seal blew out, resulted in fire, surprised the seal blew--were pulling on a small 6-7 inch stump at 1800 rpm, repair done in a day, mainly labor exhaust leak at exhaust manifolds due to many broken studs, V 10, purchased new manifolds for $360 each, plus SS studs, $18, but... had to have 18 studs drilled out so elected to have heads rebuilt (but were fine) and have machine shop remove the studs, re doing heads was about $1800 with new gaskets, labor to pull heads and exhaust and reinstall was another 1800, at this point had new timing belt, hoses, spark plugs, tensioners, also done for another 800 in new parts. Overall, over $5,000 because of exhaust leaks. (also learned a V* would be about half of the total cost). The wonders of the V10
