    torque specs

    thanks. this will be easier than leafing through the ginormous ford manual. Nice ride. Looks sick, it needs a chin spoiler though. the underside of those bumpers arent too nice looking.

    stroking the 4.6l

    all that stuff is pretty easy to do. i already have the heads stripped down. i was thinking that maybe it was just a timing problem. it would take much wear to get the valve to tap. there is really nothing wrong with the pistons. its so minor and a few of the pistons werent even damaged but have...

    stroking the 4.6l

    i posted a thread a few months ago about having a misfire in my #5 cylinder. there was no compression so i tore it down. i pulled the motor and ripped off the head. assuming there was a valve problem. i found that the #5 exhaust valve was bent. so it was not seating right, hence the lack of...

    long tube headers install

    i installed the engine with LT's on. its really not that bad. just tough to put the tranny in. but i did it. if i were you i would try to intall it with the tranny on first. and if it doesnt go than unbolt it and then stick it in after. but it was pretty hard to put the tranny on. but it is...

    smoke!

    after reading this i am not sure if you were looking under the car when it was smoking. that is where i would start. turn the key and get it to start smoking. and search around to see where it may be coming from. have you done any mods to it that required any wiring or extending wires...

    Replacing Airbags

    i also replaced the airbags on my ride. it was a few years ago. there are no sensors. just the module. i believe its down between the fuel peddle and the passenger foot area. right in the center and can be accessed from the passenger side. i do not believe they are year specific. i would search...

    New sound started coming from the motor tonight, has me worried...

    i spun a rod bearing in my 00 GT. she had around 80,000 on the odometer. it would make a knocking sound at the same exact RPM range as yours. and sometimes it would not do it. which could have fooled you to believe the spark plugs caused it. when at idle i would not hear the noise. but if...

    I need some ideas?!?

    when i had the valves totally closed i didnt turn the motor. there was no need to. all i did was pressurize the cylinder. if it leaked anywhere i would have known it. but the cylinder built compression and then stopped taking air. which means there are no leaks anywhere. it doesnt matter if the...

    I need some ideas?!?

    here is an update: i have the valve cover off and tore off the roller and removed the valve locks and springs on the #5 cylinder(which has low compression). i played with the valves to make sure nothing is wrong and all seemed very well. i then decided to leave the rollers off so the valves...

    500 bones

    the longtubes sound nice and create awesome power. but installation is pricy, and you wont be able to use them until you complete the exhaust because of course the stock exhaust will not work. so you are looking at another 600-1000 dollars depending on what you want to go with the longtubes. if...

    Pulling the OL' 4.6L

    did you need that clearance??? would it have been a problem had you not dropped the k-brace???

    Pulling the OL' 4.6L

    well im going to try to pull the motor and the tranny all at once. i know the motor went right down with the LT's on and then the tranny a tough to get on afterwards. but i would assume its possible to pull the motor and tranny all in one. and i dont think the longtubes will interfere at all...

    changing rod bearings with motor in car.

    i had a spun bearing and it was knocking bad. i continued dragging it with NOS and it only got worse... even then the only apparent damage was to that particular bearing that was spun. although i am not saying you will be as lucky. i replaced everything with forged internals. because it was a...

    Pulling the OL' 4.6L

    can i pull my motor with MAC LT's and the tranny still on? i know how hard it is to take the tranny off with LT's on. and i know how much of a pain it is to take the LT's off. and since i am it is likely i need to replace my valves, i would just like to pull everything at once... Is it...

    I need some ideas?!?

    some good advice guys! i did do new pistons and i made sure that each ring wasnt in line with the next ring. the timing is pretty easy to set and i know it jumps links pretty easily but i get my brother to hold the chains in place while i put on the tensioner on. i did this right after the...

    I need some ideas?!?

    i'll bet that you are right!!!! I'll bet that piston just broke up into little pieces and flew right out my exhaust. no doubt that is what happened. considering the last time it ran on 8 cylinders it hasnt even moved from the garage. no high rpm's, no nitrous, it just sat at idle. lets get...

    So just got off the phone with vortech

    have you ever ran low on oil??? because it doesn't take much when when your talking about thousands of RPM's!

    So just got off the phone with vortech

    this may be funny but i use a conventional oil and have never had problems. i don't see how either could cause bearings to go out. I would say your just not getting oil to those bearings. so it may be more than just changing the oil... hate to say that but...

    I need some ideas?!?

    not sure what exactly you mean on that question. but i tore off valve covers and simply replaced the seals. and reassembled! no big deal really. i could see one not being seated correctly! but bent? i have no idea. i hope someone has an idea for me to check it! thanks
