Torque converter can boil the fluid inside, plus where is the wiring? The lower mount and below has a line across the housing. I'd say Photoshop job.

I've just lost three fingers on my right hand.
I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it.
He said I most probably could, but he wouldn't count on it.
thanks for the smile JB
AHhhhh.. UMmmm.. yes.. the first one doesn't work.. And the second one didn't cause a gag.. 8-)
p.s. are you sure the spelling is correct?
My new fitness trainer asked "what kind of squats are you accustomed to doing?"
I said "diddly".
Makes me glad I don't work on cars anymore!
So I saw another picture, and found that the starter inside the bellhousing is a Bentley engine & tranny. The Northstar isn't in the bellhousing, it's UNDER the INTAKE!!! Looks like Caddy must have got the idea from Toyota...

That one I've seen first hand. Not a terribly hard job and the intake seals usually fail before the starter or about the same time, (so I am told) but personally I think it's a whole lot better idea than in a bell housing! What's easier? Lift a plastic intake manifold? or remove a transmission?
Some of GM's LS series engines have the knock sensors under the intake. What a Duh. A while back I had one go bad so I replaced both and the wiring harness to make SURE I didn't have to do that again. After about two weeks one of the new sensors failed. GRRRRR.
Sometimes you just can't win.
No argument here!! Why do "engineers" feel the need to put an electromechanical device in a new location when the previous "standards" always worked to levels of mutual satisfaction on a world wide basis?!?!? Knowing full well the chosen location will shorten the effective service life of the unit. And make for ridiculous expenses totally un-needed and un-warranted. All I was saying in the above, it's a whole lot easier to lift the intake than pull the transmission.
Yeah, I agree especially considering today's plastic intakes!! It seems that the old adage, If it ain't broke don't FIX it! no longer applies, at least to the young guns calling the shots for the OEM's these days. I can't imagine the explanation for tucking the starter inside the bellhousing unless it was that anyone who buys a Bentley doesn't care about maintenance costs anyway.... :eek: :whacked: **)
Now, BACK TO THE JOKES!!!
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the passengers who were in the car with him.
Too True!!

The Pope dies and at heaven he's met with a reception committee of angels who tell him he can enjoy any of the myriad recreations available.
He reads all of the original texts of the Holy Scriptures, and spent the next eon or so learning the languages.
After becoming a linguistic master he sits down in the library and begins to pore over every version of the Bible, working back from the most recent 'easy reading' to the original hand-written scripts.
The librarian angel hears a loud scream and finds the Pope huddled in a chair shaking and crying.
"The R! They left out the R!"
"What do you mean?" asks the librarian.
After collecting his wits, the Pope stops sobbing long enough to say: "The word was CELEBRATE!"
Thanks to the people who assured me that it's fine to allow your pets to sleep on your bed.
Now my goldfish is dead.
OH MY JB! Even Chris was laughing... between saying Oh, He was bad!
'Dear Paddy,
Your father has a new job, with 2,000 people under him. He's a gardener at the local cemetery.
Since I last wrote I have had all my teeth out and a new cooker put in.
I was going to send you a turkey but it got better.
I sent you a coat in the post. When the post office weighed it they said I'd have to pay extra for the buttons because they were so heavy. So I cut the buttons off. You'll find them in the top pocket.
We've had a threatening letter from the undertaker. Unless we pay the outstanding money for your grandma's funeral by Wednesday - up she comes.
I must close now. I would have enclosed some money, but I'd already sealed the envelope.
A team of council workers were drilling nearby and accidentally cut through the drains to the house. Since then there's been a terrible smell from your loving mother, Nancy.'

The late Bobby Bowden, Florida State football coach, told this speed trap story.
He was driving through Gainesville on an elevated section of the interstate.
He knew there was a speeding camera located on the upper floors of an adjacent building.
He slowed down ahead of time but noticed the camera flashed anyway.
Knowing he wasn't speeding he looped back and passed 5 MPH slower, the camera flashed again.
He again took the exit and looped back 10 MPH slower, the camera flashed again.
Very upset, he gave up and went home.
The next week he received three citations from the Gainesville Police Dept.......
For driving without a seatbelt.
Life was better in the seventies when I was in my twenties than it is now in the twenties and I'm in my seventies.

VERY INTERESTING FACTS.
Dead Penguins - I never knew this!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica ?
Where do they go?
Wonder no more!
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow." "Freeze a jolly good fellow."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ...Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a U.S. Congressman", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter.
This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog.
That's a good one Glenn.. and in a little while we head to the polls! How appropriate.

To cheer me up after surgery my doctor told me a joke.
I was in stitches.

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies.
'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.
'Its my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.
On the PA system: 'Cleanup on aisle 25, we have a husband down.'
An oldie but a goodie! Always funny that one. Thanks Tow'd
After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped.
Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital,
telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
A man was dining alone in a fancy restaurant and there was a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table..
He had been checking her out since he sat down, but lacked the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezed, and her glass eye came flying out of its socket towards the man.
He reflexively reached out, grabbed it out of the air, and handed it back.
'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman said, as she popped her eye back in place. 'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.'
They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they went to the theater followed by drinks... They talked, they laughed, she shared her deepest dreams and he shared his. She listened to him with interest.
After paying for everything, she asked him if he would like to come to her place
for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time..
The next morning, she cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy was amazed. Everything had been so incredible!
'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman.. Are you this nice to every guy you
meet?'
'No,' she replies. . ..
Wait for it
... ....
It's coming

She said ... ...:
'You just happened to catch my eye.' :eek::LOL::eek::LOL:
My neighbour sunbathes topless. and my missus disapproves.
