    Driveshaft Vibration - New Alum or ReBalance???

    contact me if you want to pick up a second steel driveshaft instead, i got one and i can probably get ahold of another or two. aluminum went up to 250-260 but you can get a strange chromoly shaft for like 199.99

    Tell me if my problem is with the TOB or release bearing...

    you considered it might be the stock driveshaft? i can't hear bad throwout bearings unless i'm at idle, not cruising.

    Whats next!?!?!?!

    i'd probably go with 70 or 75mm, if you plan on getting turbo, s/c later on go with 75. i still run stock tb/egr myself, not a huge power difference, but a definite throttle response. Pro M might have some chrome style maf's, but i prefer c&L.

    CRAP! Whats this sound like to you..Intake Manifold Prob

    here is an old pic of my motor, the coolant holes are 2 on each head, on each end. i'd put some rtv on each lower intake gasket, to hold it in place around the ports. then put some rtv w/ a healthy amount on each water port, then put some like i was saying on the block, you can see the first...

    CRAP! Whats this sound like to you..Intake Manifold Prob

    you need to put rtv around the water jackets ( the holes that don't have valves in them) on the heads, and instead of using the front and rear cork gasket for the lower intake to block, you should put some high temp rtv on the block (where those small strip gaskets went) the whole length and let...

    FMS Aluminum driveshaft=GOOD

    when i had gears installed my stock driveshaft was rusted a ton but it was one of the joints on it. so i got a aluminum unit for 170 put on. i think these steel shafts rust as soon as they are put on the cars, donchya think?

    Engine Oil Cooler

    guys, how much is that oil cooler from ford? would it be a good one to use with a turbo kit?? I'm gonna be putting one on the car this year, probably a T76GTS.

    FMS Aluminum driveshaft=GOOD

    This is a decent thought, but in the same theory, the driveshaft would also be out of balance if you spray painted it cause i believe the paint would have more weight to it. i think the real reason is the joints simply go bad on the shaft and need replacement.
