    After spring/shock install, banging sound from rear

    It's just single knock, which does not occur when hitting bumps, just when taking off in 1st.

    After spring/shock install, banging sound from rear

    As a note, I'm wondering if it is the upper control arm bushing binding, as I did not loosen these when doing the install, only the lowers. Something else I'm going to try.

    After spring/shock install, banging sound from rear

    Hi all, I just finished an H&R race spring and Bilstein strut installation which seemed to go pretty smooth. However, when I take off in 1st gear, I hear a knocking/banging sound from the rear of the car. I have verified that all of the bolts are tightened and torqued down; stocks, lower...

    I KNOW there's a clutch problem but ??????????

    I personally don't think changing out the clutch is all that difficult and wouldn't hesitate to do it myself. A lot of the work is labor intensive, including lifting the transmission back into place, unless you use a transmission jack or rent one. There are certainly a lot of steps involved with...

    How to properly run a compression test

    Thanks for the info, very helpful. Unfortunately I do not have compressed air, therefore I may need to use someone else's until I can get a compressor. The motor has about 600 miles on it total with all new parts including heads, valves, rings, etc. I'm thinking the folks who assembled the...

    How to properly run a compression test

    So, the bottom line, is that I can smell coolant in the tailpipes after driving the car around for a while. I'm not losing any coolant that I can see, and the coolant is clean via a block test that I performed with testing fluid, however, I almost have to be leaking coolant into the combustion...

    How to properly run a compression test

    That's a good point. I have the lower intake torqued to stock specification, and did not retorque the head studs. So, I'm assuming that torquing the lower intake bolts to 1 or 2 lbs lighter than their recommendation wouldn't be out of the question? This whole process is certainly a...

    How to properly run a compression test

    What's interesting, is that I purchased a block tester kit, which has a blue liquid that turns yellow when coupled with combustion gases. I ran the test and found nothing which indicated combustion gases in the coolant. I also rented a radiator pressure tester however I unfortunately couldn't...

    How to properly run a compression test

    Kurt, In order to verify if there is a head gasket leak, should I be completing the compression test when the motor is warm or cold? I'm not so concerned about the rings or valve seals, as the motor only has about 600 miles on it. Thanks again.

    How to properly run a compression test

    Been a while since I've run one of these, however, I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything before I begin. 1) disconnect coil wire from distributor 2) disconnect fuel pumps ( I have externals ) power supplies 3) put throttle body blade in wide open position, or simply put pedal to floor...

    Exhaust from one tailpipe smells of coolant.

    Pulled the plugs today and didn't see anything essentially out of the ordinary. Most of the plugs are black around the edges, firing ends are all grey with a tiny bit of brown. They looked just like the NGK normal plug. ( Thanks toyman ) I also did not smell or see any evident signs of coolant...

    Exhaust from one tailpipe smells of coolant.

    Essentially, I should see either coolant and/or brown or rust colors on the plugs which have a coolant leak on that cylinder, correct?

    Battery choice for 1000 cranking amps?

    Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I will have to check the cable from the battery to the power distribution box in the front, and from the alternator to the battery. ( Two separate cables )

    Exhaust from one tailpipe smells of coolant.

    As some of you may notice, I've been posting quite a bit on here lately, as I am just getting back in the mustang scene from years off, and am running down a few issues along the way. Many thanks to those who have assisted me with the issues I've run into thus far. :) I've been noticing the...

    Battery choice for 1000 cranking amps?

    I know it's not 0 gauge. I believe it is a 2 gauge wire. . My original setup consisted of: *Stock Alternator wiring to Power distribution box in front of motor *0 gauge wire from power distribution box in front of motor, to battery in trunk The shop that I took the car to, to perform initial...
