    Block differences

    Thanks for the info, Hissman. This is what I am planning on doing, so see what you think. I have a 99 Cobra with only 16,000 miles, but no warranty, I am the second owner. The problem is that I have a "spun" bearing. What I would like to do while the motor is out is replace the factory...

    Block differences

    Block differences Can someone tell me what the differences in the short block are between a SOHC 4.6 and the Cobra(DOHC) blocks. Compression ratios, rods, pistons, crank, etc.? :shrug:

    99 cobra engine noise

    djtech the more I hear this sound the more it sounds like a severe spark knock. The only thing about it is I use the same gas (93 octane) that I have used since I bought the car. Oh yea, does the "tech" in djtech have any significance, i.e. Ford tech?

    99 cobra engine noise

    Thanks for the advise guys. Anybody else have this noise from a PCV valve. Any other ideas out there. If it is put on a Ford diagnostic machine, is this something that is going to show up. I have a friend that works for a local Ford dealership that may be able to get it in with no charge.

    99 cobra engine noise

    Anyone out there ever seen or heard this problem? My 99 cobra has just turned 16000 miles. When you accelerate, at about 3200 rpm I hear a little knocking noise that sounds like it is coming from the left (driver's) side of the motor. Any ideas what this may be? The car is 100% stock, not...

    Is my 99 Cobra REALLY fixed?

    Thanks for the advise everybody, I have planned to put it on the dyno next weekend to get a true baseline. Anybody using the FR 500 exhaust? Let me know how you like it. I love the sound of Flows, but hate that highway drone. Also, anybody know of any Cobra clubs in South Carolina?

    Is my 99 Cobra REALLY fixed?

    Just as some background on the situation, I purchased my 99 about 3 months ago with 12,900 miles on it. After searching stangnet I found that there had been a "Power" recall on the exhaust and lower intake. I call 1-800-FORD-SVT with the vin # and they say that they show that the car was...

    A Little 99 Help

    Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what the factory fix includes? Is the power problem in the intake? Also, when the car is cold, there is a noticable tapping noise in the left side of the motor, not like a rod, but maybe a lifter. Any ideas. I've also read that there was a problem with the...

    A Little 99 Help

    OK I just purchased a 99 Black Cobra. I've read a lot about the "problems" with these cars. My question is #1) How do I find out if any of these recalls or fixes have been performed on my car. #2) The car only has 12,000 miles on it, if it is taken to a dealer, will they still perform any of...
