    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    Thanks a lot that seems simple enough.:nice: Is there anything else I should look for while I've got it apart? I'll obviously be looking for unusual wear.

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    I didn't install roller rockers because as said above I didn't want to deal with rockers and valve train geometry until the car was running reliably. Then I was going to buy some adjustable rockers and learn something new. H/C/I install was tough enough. Adding rockers was too much for me to...

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    Forgive my ignorance. I love cars but most people here know way more than me when it comes to engines. A Dial indicator. A Magnetic Base. I wouldn't be able to identify them if you showed them to me. I'm very green to engine building. I really was under the impression you just torqued the...

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    Jesus this is beyond me. :ack:This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to AVOID by buying what I thought to be bog-standard interchangeable parts. I can turn a wrench but I'm not a mechanic. Would someone with my problem please stand up?:bang: edit: Oh yeah just remembered. There isn't a way to...

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    Thanks. I don't really know what that means or how to do it. Can I ask for a explanation? Like how might this cause my problem. I'm open to ideas :hail2:

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    I've tried two sets of lifters. Stock ones out of the same engine and 16 new "sealed power" units stock style from advance auto. No difference. Pushrod length is what I'm leaning toward. Why can't I find information on this? All factory Ford parts, untouched and unmodded the one difference...

    Noisy Valvetrain after H/C/I install and I thought I did everything right

    On Tuesday 14th I started tearing my engine apart. By Thursday 16th I had it back together and Friday I started it back up. There is a problem. :eek: I'm hoping you all can help. To preface: I have never taken apart a motor before. I did help my Dad with his 356's 1600 once. I've nearly taken...

    Door skin? removal

    It is completely unnecessary to take the door skin off. It all pulls out through the top of the door. First !Have the window up! You'll need a strong light with a clamp aimed at the door its dark in there. You need to drill out the rivets holding the regulator(scissor mechanism) to the...

    Owner's Manual PDF?

    That's the repair manual the Dealership would use right? More in-depth information than a Haynes or Chiltons? If it is would you be willing to send me a copy if I sent you a self-addressed stamped envelope?

    Help me identify these heads.

    It's definitely GT-40's. It has 3 vertical grooves. Also I took the valve covers off and it says GT underneath.

    Help me identify these heads.

    I'm happy with my handling. I spent a buttload on the Steeda GTrac Suspension and Big Brakes. If money was no object............ but thanks for the input ;)

    Help me identify these heads.

    I'm glad that someone agrees with what I said, gives me a bit more confidence. I thought that seemed like the smarter of the two options. This way I can pop in the entire engine at once and only worry about tightening up the bolts from the header outlet to the X-pipe and the motor mounts...

    Help me identify these heads.

    Let me expand a bit on what I wrote. I don't know the history of the salvage yard engine. The only things I know for certain is it has H/C and Crane roller rockers. No Cobra intake or (It was bought by someone else) only the stock 94-95 ford (just laying on top not bolted down) But the...

    Help me identify these heads.

    I figured out they are iron GT-40 heads, Crane rockers, and an aftermarket cam. I'll be buying the whole engine within the week for $500. The engine has low miles on it (at least less than 160,000 like my current engine) My current engine is getting tired so now I have a new summer project. I'm...

    Help me identify these heads.

    That's what I was hoping. Can anyone else tell me more about what to look for so I can be certain what I'm dealing with. Like the angle of the spark plugs or any other casting marks I should look for when I go back?

    Help me identify these heads.

    I need help identifying the heads on an engine at my local salvage yard. See, I needed a new EGR tube because mine cracked and was leaking exhaust. I thought they might have one for cheap as the Ford dealer wanted $80 new. I was led out to the engine storage shed and was shown a very...

    Radio/Antenna connection in back of radio, need help!

    Ford will sell you a new one for $40. I know i checked just last week for my car. What a ripoff. I expect to pay $5 at a junkyard for the same piece.
