    Electrical How to measure MAF voltage?

    On my '93 5.0 I have a code 66 - MAF below minimum voltage. There's probably a write-up on here somewhere on how to measure MAF voltage. Would someone point me to that please?

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    You're all good. Sounds like all the rings are within tolerances. That Hastings part # comes back for an '87-'88 Turbo Coupe and yes, the piston arrows should point towards the front of the block. Button 'er up! Any news on your head?

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    Ring gaps are 0.015-0.020. Set your ring in the bore, square it with a piston and push it down about an inch, then take your ring gap. This is on my 5.0 but it gives you an idea....... With rings installed on the piston, stagger the gaps. Top ring at 12 o'clock, 2nd ring at around 4 o'clock...

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    This guy opened up and polished his chambers on a N/A head and put it on his 2.3T motor. He said he opened it up to 67cc's and that gave him a 7.6 compression ratio.

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    He's right! There's one in Windsor and one in Newark. But, they may be as cracked as yours. BTW, the '86 in Newark will have the T3 turbo. https://www.picknpull.com/check-inventory/vehicle-search?make=132&model=1914&distance=250&zip=95401&year=1983-88

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    All I can think of is to have Bo open up the combustion chambers. More chamber volume = lower compression ratio. Or you could try to do it yourself but, be careful. It's easy to go through. I know.......I've done it! Ruined a perfectly good head! Bo's prices for chamber work seem...

    Help with valuation on trade

    How much are you getting for your Mav? That SVO was done right! Quality parts throughout! Once modded, they're a blast to drive.

    Engine Idle issues, tracing vacuum lines

    This might be helpful. Here's a pic of the underside of the upper intake showing the vac hose routing on my '93. As for the VSS issue, do as Mustang5L5 suggested. Add a VSS then get the proper VSS connector...

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    Bummer....it looked pretty bad in the pics. How about calling Bo and see what he can do. He can probably open up the chamber on the new head to get you the proper shape and cc's plus he is the 2.3 head expert so he can offer up advice to get the most out of your head. Much along the lines of...

    Cobra booster installed !@#$

    I installed the Cobra booster on my '89 a few years ago. It was a breeze! Oh yeah......the engine was out! IIRC, I elongated the holes and lightly massaged the strut tower. Didn't have to cut the studs.

    Engine Leaking water pump. Can I use RTV on the back cover?

    I have exactly 3-1/8" from the rad fins to the little snout that sticks out from the water pump. 3000 cfm aftermarket fans are too deep. I assume Contour and Taurus fans are too. The only aftermarket I could find that'll fit is this one. 2-1/2" deep, 16" fan and 2150 cfm. That's double the...

    Well that sucks! Any idea what the CFM rating was on the factory fan?

    Engine Leaking water pump. Can I use RTV on the back cover?

    I was looking for a Robert Shaw and couldn't find one. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough! I have an 1100 cfm SPAL fan (the only one that'd fit) and I'm using the Mustang radiator and shroud, no deflectors though. Just wondering if I should drop to a 180* or 185* thermostat?

    Engine Leaking water pump. Can I use RTV on the back cover?

    FINAL UPDATE: Installed the pump with new FelPro gaskets and a thin coating of RTV. Fired it up and it leaks worse than before!! Walked away and completed some other tasks on the car I had to do. The next day I pulled the pump again (this is getting old)! Cleaned everything up and put a...

    Yeah, there's 2 of 'em and they're the stock low profile bolts.

    Engine Leaking water pump. Can I use RTV on the back cover?

    UPDATE: Water pump still leaks! Again, it seems to be coming from the back cover plate just to the side of the weep hole. I used no gaskets. Nothing but RTV Ultra Black 82180 on both the back cover and W/P to timing chain cover. Both the cover and W/P are new. Both surfaces impeccably...
