    Mystery MAF, can you help identify?

    I bought this meter as part of an Vortech S-trim package deal. I don't have the custom tune that went with it, but I do have the 30# injectors, which apparently was used with this combo. If anyone is interested in the meter or injectors, please PM me. Thanks, Eric

    Mystery MAF, can you help identify?

    Hey guys, I am not really sure which MAF I have here. It has ford electronics and the part number points to 1991, but this came off a blown application with 30#'s. Are lightning MAF's metal? Thanks, Eric

    1st time questions on replacing the rear main seal.

    Resurrecting this thread.... I installed the seal as described above (not flush) and did add a dab of sealant on the end caps (not on the ends of the seal itself).....fired up the motor and a couple of hours later, noticed that it's leaking from the RMS. Hmm...I am going to get this right...

    Thanks guys...I'll have to tear it open and take a look. Are the 1.7 rockers known to kill the stock valvesprings overtime (Like since the early 90's)?

    What would happen if you didn't have the shim kit? Mine are noisy and I have never popped the valve cover to take a look why....can the VC's be removed w/o taking the upper intake off?

    1st time questions on replacing the rear main seal.

    UPDATE: I replaced the seal over the weekend and it wasn't as scary as first perceived, but only time will tell if I did a good job. As a note, I torqued the main cap to 70 ftlbs....I first set the Autozone rented torque wrench to 30# and it kept going and didn't click...it just got harder to...

    I have a mysterious valvetrain noise too....the car has stock heads with 1.7 rockers and stock valve covers. I am not sure if the valve covers have their oil baffles removed to clear the rockers, but it sounds like a model T at idle. Could it be the 1.7 rockers have killed my stock...

    How to diagnose steering box?

    Hey guys, What is the proper way to diagnose a loose/bad steering box? The car is currently on jack stands and right now I only have the pitman arm connected to the sector shaft - that's it.
