    Water From Exhaust - Intake Or Head Gasket?

    I know that when I took the head off that the water ran out the rear end and right down the outside of the exhaust pipe and undoubtedly got inside since the headers were loose from the H-pipe - so there could be some water in the RH pipe. That said, when I started it up the first time, it only...

    Water From Exhaust - Intake Or Head Gasket?

    yea, stupid mistake forced me to take the head off and now this. It's been a rough couple of weeks.. I'll try to do a compression and leak down test tomorrow and post what I get. I'm really hoping it's the intake gasket and not the head gasket. I also noticed that there was some coolant...

    Water From Exhaust - Intake Or Head Gasket?

    Greetings, Long story short (...small object fell down intake into #1 cylinder) - I had to replace my right side head gasket and the intake gasket on my '91 and when I started it up the first time, quite a bit of water is coming out of the right side exhaust. I'd guess I'm getting a cup of...

    19# Injectors Enough For This Combo?

    I think you'll see 300 rwhp pretty easily (see my combo below). Get the 24 or even 30 # injectors and at least a 190 lph fuel pump. I actually have my very lightly used Walbro 190 lph availble if you're interested (~1k miles on it). I put a 255 lph pump in when I added my blower and have...

    '95 Fuel Rails On My '91 - How To Run Fuel Line?

    I recently put a set of '95 rails on my '91 for the additional fuel flow potential and I'm finding that due to the different position and angle of the fuel inlet on the '95 rails, my stock '91 fuel line won't fit (the oil fill tube is right in the way). I tried to bend my stock tube with a...

    Any Reason I Can't Use A Little Sealer On Water Pump Gaskets?

    Thanks. In general I think it's a pretty crappy design - having that little plate held in place with two bolts at the bottom and thinking that a gasket and those two bolts will hold the water in. I usually use RTV on gaskets but didn't this time. I have one of the heads off - should I put...

    Any Reason I Can't Use A Little Sealer On Water Pump Gaskets?

    My water pump gasket has leaked a little - mostly in the winter - since I installed it 10 years ago. I've got the thing torn down for other reasons (another thread) so I'm going to install fresh gaskets. I got the pump off and the plate that seals that back side is a little pitted (and may...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    They are brand new injectors/o-rings... they were a little tough to get into the rail so I put a thin layer of motor oil on them... another reason one fell out.

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    It's been a long time since I've seen that movie... I have the cobra/GT40 lower (w/ round holes) - I was moving the rails w/ injectors plugged into the rail over the top of it and I think #1 injector hit the AC line that runs across the front of the engine and came off. When it fell, it slid...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    Yea, I have always been pretty careful before - covered inakes, etc. where things could fall but got careless this time. I actually put the injectors in the rail and then tried to install it... uh, dumbass, how could one NOT fall off while the rails are being moved into position - and why the...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    I got the right head off and found the spring finger right where I expected it to be - sitting on top of the piston. I'll spend the next couple of days cleaning up all the gasket surfaces and then when the gaskets show up, I'll be ready to reassemble.

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    yea, I just ordered a gasket set (heads, intake, exhaust, valve cover, etc).... I just need to get over being pissed off about what happened before I start putting it back together. I don't want to 'rebuild angry'. Thanks - I'm going to see if any of the rental places or even the better parts...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    If I do find the missing piece in cylinder #1, I'll probably just rebuild from there and leave the other side alone - but, if I don't find it on the right side, I'm going to have to take the left head off too - since I really don't know where the part went. I'm 90% sure it's in #1, but if not...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    yea, the engine is in the car. If it was on a stand, I'd flip it upside down and get the piece out through the exhaust port but that's not an option. I need to replace/reseal the water pump anyway so I might as well keep going. If I change one head gasket, would you change both? It's only...

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    Greetings, Long story short, I dropped a fuel injector down my lower intake and in the process of trying to get it out with one of those little spring loaded finger tools, ( http://www.harborfreight.com/24-inch-2-in-1-pickup-tool-94162.html )the tool came apart and now I can only find 1/2 the...

    What Carb On A '73 302 2v?

    What factors caused the 302 2V to drop from 210 hp to 141 in '73? Was the carb to blame or was it something else (heads/compression ratio, additional smog equipment, etc)???

    What Carb On A '73 302 2v?

    He bought the car last weekend but won't take delivery until this weekend so I don't have the casting number of the intake. I know it's a 2 barrel intake though. He said it was set up for an electric choke (vs the heater tube coming from the exhaust manifold like on my '69 302). Was there more...

    What Carb On A '73 302 2v?

    Greetings, My uncle just picked up a '73 with a 302 and it's missing its carburator. Can someone tell me which one it had? He said the PO told him that the carb was changed from a 500 cfm to a 300 cfm and that's why the hp rating was only 140 (instead of 210). I'm guessing it gets an Autolite...
