    Engine Revs but doesnt move fast...Clutch or Trans??

    So you are saying the clutch is slipping? will that make the car lose power? Because i just completed the PI headswap with comp cams 262. It doesnt feel very strong at all but i was thinking it was because of the clutch. What do you recommend for a clutch replacement? so the flywheel is...

    Engine Revs but doesnt move fast...Clutch or Trans??

    When i am shifting from 1-2 and 2-3 i will floor the gas with my foot off the clutch and the RPM will climb to 3,4,5K RPM but the car will just rev and but not as fast. The clutch is very high. its a spec 1 clutch. Its over 5 years old, not sure if that has anything to do with it? Any...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    2002 I will PM you about the tunning. CORAMPRAT. There is not ticking that I can hear, just that it sounds like a diesel when its idling but smooths out a bit when you get on it. The injectors are old, do you all think i should upgrade the injectors? they are the stock injectors, never...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    ok, after driving the car for a couple days, the car runs well, however it sounds like a diesel engine, there are no knocking or metal contacts that i can hear, idles well and drives fine as far as i can tell. Is it normal for it to sound a little like a diesel engine? Will it go away after a...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    Thanks for the reassurance. its just that i have been reading everywhere that i should have asked the mechanic to degree the cams or else it will have PTV so i was really concerned. I will bring it up to 6K rpm after a few more days of driving to break it in and then update on the status. I...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

I have asked him to do a compression test on a...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    He did say he checked the timing several times, but if they were way off, you are saying the car will not even turn over, but since it did, is it safe to say there is no PTV issue? Like i mentioned earlier, i do not hear any knocking or ticking sound.

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    I will definately get it professionally tuned, should i be concerned that the cams were not degreed? It doesnt sound like anything is knocking or ticking. Car runs very well. Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    I am going to get it dyno tuned. I was just saying since the tuner will use the SCT X3 anyways, i was thinking i get it from AM or somewhere like that and use the tune they send with it and then i will take the SCT tuner to the dyno and see if it is close to what the Mail tune was. just for...

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    When i order the SCT wouldnt they konw not to increase timing? I do not mind using 93 octane if it will provide better driveability and more power.

    UPDATE: PI HEADSWAP & COMP CAMS 262 SWAP COMPLETE

    Thank you to everyone that assisted me with the swap. The mechanic just completed the swap and test drove the car and it ran very well. The idle was not as lopey as i thought it would be, it was very mild actually. The engine was not shaking, it was smooth, no check engine light and drive was...

    Romeo Valve Cover Oil Filler neck...MISSING

    I have checked, however no one seems to have it. i never knew the oil filler can screw off. i guess i will have to just buy another valve cover. Or is there another oil cap i can screw on there? The mechanic said the oil cap is too small for the opening, he said the oil neck is needed. Any other...

    Romeo Valve Cover Oil Filler neck...MISSING

    The oil filler neck on my romeo valve covers are missing. Ordered them online while doing headswap. Now how can i get a replacement? I called ford, hey had no idea what i am talking about. It doesnt look like it screws on, it just has about a quarter turn to lock in place. Any suggestions?

    Just spoke with the mechanic, he said the swap is completed and just doing some final checks. He said the car started up just fine and is running well. he said it just needs to be driven to set a base idle. How long should it be driven to get a base idle. He said he will be driving it tonight...

    Heads are on, question about timing and cam shaft

    I am in Fairfax VA. He is a regular shop mechanic, not specialized in mustang. He has always worked on my car. He said him and another mechanic checked the timing and adjustements and they were all at 109. I am not sure how he did it but i dont think he has a degree wheel. He is putting the...

    Heads are on, question about timing and cam shaft

    I did get the stainless steel (thinner intake valves) so will that help even if the cams are off by 1 or 2 degrees? He did line them up at 109. Should i tell him to change it to 110 or 111? He doesnt have a degree wheel. If he lines them up at 109 does he need a degree wheel to change it to 110...
