    The hestitation problem i had, KNOW the problem!! ORIGNAL OWNER JACKASS

    Just hit it with a shot of penetrating lube and let it sit for an hour or so. If it's not crossthreaded, it'll come out. Just be gentle and make sure the heads are cold so you don't mangle the threads.

    4.6 specs?

    I can't remember exactly where I came across this, but I have had it saved on my computer for some time now in a Microsoft Word file. I think It might have come out of my Ford service manual that I have on cd-rom.

    wow. please educate me. 4.6 2000GT

    There is no distributor or spark plug wires. The ignition is all computer controlled. You Have eight small coils, called coil packs. The are those black things with the yellow stickers on them. If you unbolt them and pull them out, there is a rubber boot with a wire coil in it underneath it...

    HELP fuel pump...

    As close to the tank as possible. Fuel pumps push the fuel much better than they pull it.

    Passenger side H-pipe to manifold gasket leak

    I'd like a nice SS bassani X-pipe, but right now money is an issue. I know it's a pain, but is it possible to get it to seal perfectly?

    Do I *Have* to replace stock struts & shocks with Sportlines?

    You don't have to, but with the agressive spring rate and 2 more inches of compression on stock style struts and shocks, they will wear out pretty fast. If your not planning on saving them incase you sell the car later, just run em' til they are blown and buy some decent aftermarkets like koni...

    Passenger side H-pipe to manifold gasket leak

    I am using the factory gasket not the crappy paper mac one, but I am still getting a small leak. the flange on the mac pipe doesn't have that lip on it like the factory one to hold the gasket centered. I am pretty sure it's not centering on the flange and squeezing out from one of the sides...

    Fuel Filter change

    It's between the axle and the fuel tank. You'll need a ford fuel line disconnect tool that fits over the line and slides into the spring fitting to release it. It's really easy, but if your not real careful it's pretty messy. Open your gas cap to help relieve pressure, you can also relieve...

    Heads and Valve Springs

    You don't have to remove the heads to install the springs, but I hear that the spring install is alot more involved than the cam install.

    What caster Camber settings should I have the car aligned to??

    I run -.75 degrees of camber for minimal tire wear and I run as much positive caster as you can dial in, I think mine ended up being about 4 or 5 degree's. If it's like mine, with fords crappy tolerances you will probably be able to dial in more caster on one side then the other, just make sure...

    3m tape on Saleen S281 spoiler?

    I have not installed a saleen wing, but I have done alot of other stuff using 3m tape. My advice is to put the tape all the way around the edges. Then instead of pulling off all the backing, just get each segment started about 1-2 inches and fold it over so it sticks out from under the wing...

    Warm start problem, NOT IAC

    Too much advance on your timing can cause hot start problems. Do you have a timing adjuster or aftermarket chip? Try knocking the timing back 1-2 degrees. I also noticed you have an o/r hpipe. They produce more heat than the stock exhaust. You may just have a hot starter, your exhaust goes...

    Warm start problem, NOT IAC

    Check your fuel pump. Alot of hot start problems are fuel pump related. Also, How long has it been since you changed your fuel filter? I've seen many cars with horribly clogged fuel filters that stall and Idle horrible.

    estimate my RWHP and ET's with my new set-up? what would you change if anything?

    I don't think it will run very well without any heads. Did you mean you were getting a Mach1 Longblock? A shortblock comes without heads. Or are you planning on getting some wicked aftermarkets with some p&p work and cams.

    3m tape for a pillar?

    I screwed Mine together the first time and hated the way it looked with screws in it. So I bought another one and taped it together. I run a sign shop that does plastics and we use that 3m tape all the time, and I don't care what kind of experiences people say they have had, that is some good...
