    UPR prod. K-member kit, Any good ?

    I've got the UPR caster-camber plates and think they are great. The K-member looks to be a qaulity piece and it is chrome-moly. I think a lot of them are just mild steel. I think Vipersix had a bad experience with UPR, but that is not the norm. I bought caster-camber plates for my 03 car. I...

    5 lug convo, misc questions

    I just replaced the seals when I did my conversion. You do not need a special tool to remove the seal. Just use the end of the axle and pry the seal out. Hope this helps.

    OK, every sign leafds to a blown head gasket or cracked block. I did the block test which shows combustion gasses in the cooling system if the block is cracked. THe test does not show any gasses. Are these block testers reliable?

    Major Cooling Problem

    I will try to jack up the car today and se if I can burp the system. I still think that there is some kind of blockage in the system though because when the overflow tank fills up a bunch of tan colored junk comes out along with the water.

    Major Cooling Problem

    I don't think it is the head gasket. If that was the case I would have shown combustion gasses in the coolant when I did the block test. Plus this is the 2nd set of head gasekets since I had the problem. I have had the heads off of the car 1 time already.

    What Did You People With PBR Do For Brake Lines

    Not sure about the PBR calipers, but I used my stock 95 lines from the 5 lug coinversion with the stock 2004 GT calipers I am using. I just used a grinder on the end of the line to make it bolt up. This may also work for the PBR calipers.

    Major Cooling Problem

    distributor grear wear

    Thanks for the advice. I am using the ford motorsport driveshaft so hopefully there is no problem there. I will check the gear and if I am in question about the gear being cast vs. steel I will pull one off of another EFI distributor I have.
