I just knew you guys couldn't deal with not knowing why! I have a bit of a coolant leak which I suspect is going past the head gasket. It isn't enough to give white smoke, but I had similar symtoms a few years ago with my first 9000T and re-torquing the head at the time helped until I replaced the gasket. On the 9000 the angle I could get on the bar made it easy to loosen and remove the bolts. On the 900 though it seems near impossible. I guess I'll have to go the impact wrench route as I have a 1/2" electric one that should do it. I was hoping for a better way. Perhaps I'll just have to remove the hood and climb on top of the engine from the driver's side. That or sit on the windshield.
