    EGR/PCV tube heads up

    Greetings, I have my high mileage 03 up for sale and while getting it cleaned up and serviced I discovered that the PCV boot/hose on the drivers side head was deteriorated and had a split in it. I actually heard it hissing before I traced the noise back to the PCV valve. This would be a...

    Getting new heads - engine apart

    Greetings, I had tried to sell my car a few months ago and there was some debate as to if it truly had the tick or not - I had already replaced the head at 30k miles and most people felt that it was just typical injector/pcv noise. Long story short - my friendly local Ford dealer agreed to...

    The tick

    Being an old school kind of guy I wonder if you could simply take the "ticking" heads to a competent machine shop and have the valve guides knurled or replaced? It has fixed many an engine over the last 90+ years. If the tick truly is caused by premature valve guide wear the tick would...

    Tob Tsb parts

    I was surprised today to see the "completeness" of the actual TOB redesigned part. It is the whole front of the transmission from the main case forward. The tube is also much more substancial than the origional. I have almost 50k miles and Ford is paying 80% of the total bill. I think that...

    Vendor Question

    I was told by one of my viper buddies that www.standardtransmission.com made a great street clutch for the higher HP Vipers. Has anyone bought from them before? They have a decent website and were very helpful on the phone. "Mike" even called me back with information I requested. He said...

    underhood temps / silencer

    For your dancing and dining pleasure, I have been playing with my new Autotap and it showed that the intake air temp is almost 15 deg warmer without the silencer. I noticed that the outside temp was a balmy 27 deg but the air going into the intake was 42 degrees. I recorded the mass air...

    Boost mod and a miss?

    A vendor (can't remember which one - I am old) posted a modified boost mod were you just swap the vac lines from the solinoid and the actuator around. We just tried this on a friends O3 and he picked up a pretty bad miss at WOT. We switched it back and it went away - never tossed a code...

    IRS Movement / "Thud" ?

    Greetings to all! Are there replacement bushings to help stabilize the center section of the IRS? I just had the rear end rebuilt due to an internal failure and the stock bushings are letting the center section move more than I think is needed. I had the car on a lift and you could...

    Vibe has been fixed!!!

    Had a replacement drive shaft installed by my local Ford dealership today. I got to see the old shaft and the new shaft side by side. The old shaft had two very large balancing weights spot welded to each end of the shaft. These must have been 3 or 4+ ounces of weights and they were both...
