    The best ricer pic EVAR!!!!!

    Let me be the first to say it... Yep, funny... It isn't tech, though. There is a forum for material like that... http://forums.stangnet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=62

    White Smoke & Coolant Smell...Headgasket?

    Pull the intake, and look for leaks from the coolant passages into the intake ports, but more than likely it IS the head gasket... Now, if you did have an EGR coolant leak, it's likely that some of the coolant is still in the system. How long ago did you do that replacement? Also, do...

    5.0 Idle Problems

    A lot of cars with E-cams, or any other wilder cam, does that. If it's as simple as erratic airflow, and low vacuum caused by that cam, you can try clocking your mass air meter to different positions, to see if that helps. Clocking the meter, so that the sensor is moved clockwise, looking from...

    Underdrive Pulleys and RWHP ???

    I've taken mine on and off several times, but I've never noticed any power difference at the seat of the pants, and no ET difference either... Maybe it's just me...

    Rear drain plug

    There isn't one... You must remove the cover, and let the oil drain. For what it's worth, don't replace the gasket around the rear diff. cover; use blue RTV to make your own gasket (unless you can get Ford's gray gasket maker; that stuff's awesome). Blue RTV makes a much better gasket that's...

    how much will a stock d/s hurt me??

    The only difference I noticed was that the stock D/S isn't balanced as well as the FMS one... I didn't notice ANY power difference... I started having problems when I went to 4.10 gears, and the whole car vibrated at about 75 MPH... Other than that, I never would have gone to the FMS...

    Inexpensive cooling upgrades (which rad. & e-fan?)?

    The sensor sounds like its fine. It should be sticking through the radiator fins near the upper radiator hose. The sensor has nothing to do with the AC condensor. That black rubber plug just helps it stay in place. Yours turns on when the AC compressor turns on because the AC relay wire is...

    CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, You help fix = You are God

    This is what I have... It's a MAF Tuner system. Cool stuff... http://pro-flow.com/Product%20pages/MAFtuner.htm I had to buy it directly from Pro-Flow because it was too new for other vendors to carry. If you have a meter that's calibrated for a certain injector set, you can calibrate...

    CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, You help fix = You are God

    Well, cold air kits are going to cause MAF reading problems. They seem to put the majority of the air 90 degrees away from where the MAF sensor should be. With mine, I had habitual problems with the car shutting off at idle after surging like crazy because the MAF wasn't given the reading that...

    Inexpensive cooling upgrades (which rad. & e-fan?)?

    Does the black magic fan that you have come with an adjustable thermostat? And if so, where is the sensor located? I set the adjustable thermostat on mine to about 190 degrees, based on the reading on my stock guage. I put mine right at the return pipe through the fins on the top of the...

    Quick Timing Question..

    Personally, I don't think 16 is too high for an aluminum headed car with stock 9.2 compression. I run 16 and have for the past couple of years, trying 14 occasionally. Now, for an iron headed car, I wouldn't try it... It's not going to make that much difference anyway. And as far as...

    need help finding TDC. please.

    Here's an easier way... Take the balancer to the point where the pointer is pointing at 0 degrees. You can do this by bumping the ignition switch until the pointer is close to 0, then put the car in gear in 5th if its a 5-speed and push it back or forward to get the mark just right. Now, put...

    Inexpensive cooling upgrades (which rad. & e-fan?)?

    I have the same setup, and the same problem you describe. It actually doesn't get "that" hot in traffic. It does get up to 200 occasionally with a 180 T-stat. With my old Mr. Gasket 180 t-stat it got really hot in traffic at times. I put a Stant heavy duty thermostat in the car and haven't...

    Is it hard to install Gears

    I'm a supporter of this... I did my own; I learned a lot, but they still whine... You'll need a magnetic mount dial indicator as one of your weapons in your arsenal. First, measure the backlash of a KNOWN GOOD gearset. Try to mimmic that backlash in your new gear set... One other thing that...

    balljoints and inner tie rod ends

    Ok, the uploading is done... enjoy... Those are both inner tierod ends. The new one is a TRW suspension component, and the old one is the stock 1993 Ford unit. I hope this proves the point that inner tierod ends DO wear out... I really don't understand who, in their right mind, would...

    Really? Lucky for you, I'm an engineer, and I had one good inner tierod end, and one bad inner tierod end sitting around the house. I also had a digital camera with video capability sitting around the house... http://users.myexcel.com/ae4vr/newrodend.mpg Notice that there's NO...

    Annoying Ticking noise after Head install, Im thinking valvetrain

    Again, what cam combo and pushrods?... I don't think that regular Cobra 1.72 rockers and a stock cam are even going to have to be shimmed with a pedestal mount setup, but that's me... I ran that setup except for Crane 1.7 rockers for a long time before I added the Crane 2031 cam...

    balljoints and inner tie rod ends

    Haha, nope... They are ball and socket fittings. I just replaced one on my 2.3 because it had maybe 1/32ths play. That was causing massive tire roar when I put on brakes because 1/32ths at the tierod is way more at the tread edge of your tire. To check inner tierods you can simply try to...
