    Head bolt did not torque down

    When I took off my heads, one of the head bolts snapped off in the block. It actually felt loose immediately when I began to torque it off, like it was sitting in there loose before I touched it, and sure enough, it was broken. To make a long story short, I resorted to using a heli coil kit...

    fuel pump whines all the time.. is this ok?

    The 190lph walboro pump I put in was actually much quieter than the stock walboro pump, so I don't know if it is automatically more noisy when the pump gets bigger. The brand of pump might affect things too though.

    Cleaning carbon off of pistons

    I might try the block of wood. I already have the wire brush, and from the replies, it sounds like that would be okay to use as well. If I use brake cleaner, should I put a little bit of oil in the cylinder? I thought brake cleaner removes all oil from a surface. As far as the head bolt...

    Cleaning carbon off of pistons

    Just wondering what you guys recommend to clean the carbon off the tops of pistons would be. I was going to use a fine wire cup on the end of a power drill, with the piston near/at TDC, but if this will scratch it or be detrimental in any way, then I do not want to do that. I do not have an...

    Never ending ? To use atf or gear oil?

    Does anyone remember the reason for not using the heavyweight oil? I think it has something to do with the little holes that it goes through or something, if you use a thick fluid, then it will not get through and lubricate things. So that is why ATF is used, but as people have already pointed...

    Cam install questions

    Ug, sorry, one last quick question for you guys. I did not have header bolts, and the Ford Dealer does not even list the part number for them. Would I be safe re using my header bolts (88 remember, and they have never been removed). I will be putting on BBK headers if that makes any...

    All printed off. Thanks again for the write up, 5spd gt. If I ever make it down to arkansas I will look you up and buy you a beer or something. Long ways from Minnesota though.

    Cam install questions

    You assume too much, I am an idiot. So how do I go about removing the lifters? And I can reuse the current lifters and pushrods as long as I put them back where they came from, right?

    Cam install questions

    Alright, I did a search, I promise, but I did not really get any good material so I thought I would make another of my rare posts. I will be installing a cam in my car this weekend, and I have never done this before. I just had a couple of questions pertaining to it: Is there a trick to...

    EGR spacer and cobra intake question

    Alright, this is the second question I have posted up today, hopefully people do not get fed up with me! I bought quite a few parts from people from the local club for very good prices. One of the purchases I made was this: Now, when I posted that pic up on the local car forum, there...

    Where is the smog pump located?

    My smog pump locked up on me and put my car on the side of the road the morning of an autocross :mad: . This happened just a couple of weeks ago. All I did is just bought a 84.5" belt, got the correct routing diagram, and bypassed it. I did all of this while it was on the side of the road...

    Fuel pump install pointers

    Samsnyder raised another question that I have. I have an adjustable regulator, but I will probably not be installing that for a couple of weeks, and will do it along with the myriad of other things to do in a h/c/i project. The weekend between swapping the fuel pump, and doing everything...

    What kind oil do u use???

    I run 20w-50 all summer in the mustang. I run 10w-40 in the Jeep (winter beater). Ah, on another note, I took my 5 gallon used oil can to the oil change place to get rid of it, and it was on a -10F or so winter day. The oil that was in there was mostly from the Mustang oil changes (20w-50)...

    Fuel pump install pointers

    Thank you very much for that comprehensive information. I have printed off your reply, and also the link you gave as well. This will assist me greatly. It looks like I need to purchase some additional supplies as well, since all I have is the pump itself right now, with a couple of plastic...

    Fuel pump install pointers

    I did a forum search but did not come up with that great of information. This weekend I will be swapping out my fuel pump for a 190lph unit. The only other vehicles I have removed gas tanks on are Jeeps. I am thinking this will be a tad different on an 88GT. I am assuming I have to remove...
