No comparison between the two events if you are the parent.
Cars come and go, children last a lifetime....yours or theirs.
Hopefully yours, I would hate to lose a child......although there have been times I might have sold one or two...

I must say though, that my kids may not have been as pretty as the engine in this car....

Haven’t started it yet. I have developed a ground leak and am trying to figure it out.
I have pulled every fuse and found nothing.

Fired up the car tonight.
Didn’t go as well as I hoped. Oil pressure didn’t build. But found fitting that wasn’t sealing.
Seemed to be miss firing, will have to check firing order and sensors again.
On ran it for couple minutes but One side of engine was hotter then other????

One coil Is dead this why was not running well. Its not firing on 2 cylinders. have ordered new coil.
Compression is 150psi across all 12 cylinders 
Low oil flow. Will drop pan and check out pump.
Common problem with this oil pump is mounting bolts come loose and loses oil pressure.
I did find a new pump on eBay in Australia, I bought this as back up plan.
