Hey guys, it's been awhile since I was on here. I drove my car about 5 times all last year. I got a fully built motor, cams, ported heads etc. 9:1 compression I think. 11cc pistons. I want to super charge my car. I always wanted a kennebell but when I called them, they said they don't make kits...
My car drives and shifts fine. Then I park it for a month or so until I drive it again and the clutch grabs at the floor. I rarely drive the car, it sits more then driven. What would cause this to happen? It sits in a garage. It also shifts fine but now I am almost all the way out on my fiore...
Should I look for coupe or convertible struts since my cars a convertible? With them being valved different and the cars being heavier in the front, are the coupes better for me?
I had a constant drain that would kill my cars battery after 3 days of not driving it. I had one garage look at it and they said they could not find the culprit. Randomly I decided to try my stereo by pulling the fuse for it. To my surprise it worked. No more battery drain. How do I determine...
I was told by more then one ford dealership to use Mercon V in my trans. They said that ford superceded all mercon III to mercon V. If we weren't supposed to use it before, then why now? On a side note ford told me 3.3 quarts where as pepboys told me 7.5 LOL I will never trust a shop like...
I got my built motor back and now I am trying to install it. The engine was originally pulled by a ford tech and then the warranty company told me they wouldn't cover it. I got back boxes of bolts, cut engine grounds, etc...
I dropped the k-member already... Not a problem
Ataching the...
OK, so my motor took a shit @ 34,000 miles. A piston exploded when my reluctor wheel came off the keyway... :shrug:
I am building it up but I am staying N/A until I pay the car off.
My crank is good and my heads are ok.
My build consists of:
1.) stock crank
2.) Manley H-Beam rods
3.)...
I am looking to put a built motor in my car when I bring it back out after winter. IS MMR the best place? I will eventually put a blower on it. I got a set of longtubes and a Naz ported Mach1 intake to go on it. I am not worried about crazy HP from a built motor w/o a blower or turbo. I am...
If I were to put new 03/04 rods and pistons in my 01, what would my compression be? 8.5:1?
Also, is there any issues or are these a direct replacement for the 01 parts?
Thanks
OK so I have 7% loss of compression on CYl 2 and 8% loss of compression on Cyl 8. There is a misfire. Pulled the valve cover and everything looks fine. Injectors aren't leaking, plugs look good, COP are working fine. ANyone have any ideas what can cause this. The car shakes at idle and falls on...
I am pulling my trans. due to what I believe is a bad pilot bearing. Assuming my input shaft is still ok and my 1 year old centerforce DF clutch I am trying to figure out what else I might need.
Here is what I got:
1.) New pilot bearing
2.) New Fidanza aluminum flywheel
3.) Centerforce...
a little long... sorry...
OK so I have been having a squealing noise for a while and after my car would heat up, it would not go into gear. Adjusting the FWA out really far took the squeal away and it made shifting great. After doing that though, the clutch started to grab closer to the ground...
I put a centerforce DF clutch in my car and didn't change the the stock quadrant. I was sitting in traffic during hot weather and the car got stuck in gear (clutch would not disengage). It would buck forward w/ the shifter in 1st when I would take my foot off the brake. After that it started...
