    cylinder psi test

    That is where I TRY to read it. Picture the top of the HB as 12 O'clock. The Correct place to read it (your picture) would be close to the 11 O'clock position. When I put my timing light on mine there is nothing there. My degree marks read about the 1 O'clock position. Sorry if im confusing...

    cylinder psi test

    ok.... the 90psi was annoying me because I know the motor is healthier than that, so I checked my timing. WAAAAAAY off! this is how bad it is... you know where the timing check point is(left ofthe Harm. bal). Well it turns out I couldnt read ity well because when the timing light hit the TDC...

    rebuild question

    Is a 96 Explorer motor worth rebuilding for my 94 mustang? I have tons of miles on my current motor stock mustang motor. Was looking to just build it, a little at a time. Then just swap out the motors. Rather than pull the motor out then rebuild. What are the cons of doing this?

    cylinder psi test

    Yeah.... I'm not too worried about it. It still gets me from point a-b(work) very reliably. I have an explorer v8 motor I was thinking about having rebuilt then just putting that in the car. then i'd have a fresh motor. This way I can do it a little at a time. All I want to do the car is gt 40...

    cylinder psi test

    Went to Autozone and rented a compression test tool pulled all the plugs out and tested each cylinder. turned the car over a few seconds then went ot the next cylinder. They all came out to be 75. Can a car run well with numbers that low? The car is all stock with x pipe and flows welded...

    explorer intake

    I have a complete explorer motor in the garage. Can I just install the explorer lower intake only on my GT? The reason is, I do not have an elbow,YET, but I would like to measure the difference at the track. From what ive read the GT Lower is the worst part of the GT's intake system...

    I'll probably just pick up a radiator this weekend. I didn't realize they were not that expensive. I was thinking way over 200 bucks.

    car running hot

    I might look for an upgrade for the radiator instead of just a autozone replacement. I have a few more things I'd like to try before i do that. If all goes well i'll have time for a little more maintenance again this weekend. OEM T-stat, few more hoses...

    car running hot

    I'm not ruling out the radiator as a possibility but everything was really clean coming out. This weekend, I'll probably take it out flush it and spray water through the fins to see what happens. Replacing the radiator is the last thing I wanted try. Mainly because of the $$$. I dont mind...

    Ongoing Overheating Issue - Used to be fan

    If you know you have a cracked radiator just replace it. A couple of questions for me and that might help him... Head gasket: wouldn't he see some water in oil if he has a blown H-gasket? when is the last time you changes your radiator cap? If it is not able to hold pressure it can make...
