    Aluminum Flywheels

    If the surface looks good just break the glaze with some 80 grit emery and install the new clutch. If it is scored contact the makers for advise. Dwayne

    parking brake adjustment 1997 GT

    I have the same issue, very weak parking brake. I am going to remove the pads and brake cables on the rear caliper and carefully apply some wd40 to the parking brake mechanism. Then exersize the hell out of the thing to free it up. I am sure it is just rust making the thing difficult, so no...

    What valves do I need to support my Non-PI Boost application?

    I highly suggest that you contact Jonny Langton I think that's how it is spelt any way everyone knows who he is. I would also suggest that you use P&P NPI heads, the valves and springs that the porter recomends and keep the boost to 10lbs. This is to reduce the chance of detonation. Lifting...

    Synthetic OIL

    It has been nice debating this subject and I am refreshed to find almost everyone being adult about this issue. We all have differences of opinion and no forum will ever change them. It does however provide me with view points that I may not have concidered before. I wish everyone well and will...

    Synthetic OIL

    Just because you do not change your oil for a year will not void your warranty as some are aware of the magnuson moss act the oil must fail causing the damage. http://www.granatellimotorsports.com/magnusonmoss.htm Please review the laws governing this. I do not know of a single failure of...

    Synthetic OIL

    I do not hold your opinion. I have been using Amsoil and Mobile 1 since my car was new. 10 years later I do a P&P head swap to find there is zero sludge in the cylinder heads and the cross hatching is still in the cylinder walls. I burn a total of 1 qt of oil per year this is including the...

    Accel Supercoils COP's

    The stock coils are the best for lightly modded cars, there is zero advantage to changing them unless they fail. Save your money and spend it on something else. Dwayne

    have you tried re-seating the filter? It could also be the gasket between the filter adaptor and the block. Dwayne

    Can the "dogbone" be removed after aluminum d/s?

    You can remove it many do, however there is a wide misunderstanding of it's purpose. It is there to dampen critical driveline vibes caused by the driveshaft length. This has nothing to do with the gear ratio (other than vibes will occure at a lower speed if you install steeper gears) It is...

    Making the switch from conventional to synthetic oil

    Just switch. DO NOT CHANGE AT 3K change at the reccomended interval in your hand book or dio like I do and change the oil 1time a year with a filter change at 6 months. I have been doing this for the past 11 years and the motor is spotless inside. In europe the standard is 10k between changes...

    can i get an iron 4.6 block bored out?

    so is it really worth all of the hassell to pick up 6ci. I think not. The only real reason to bore over size is to rebuild a motor. The tiny amount of gain is not worth the $ it takes to get it. For the money it would take to pump it up that 6ci you could go a long way towards a power adder...

    granatelli coil packs any one use they?

    If the stock coil packs (which are very good) are lighting the fire I highly doubt that aftermarket coils will make any difference. There is a lot of disinformation out there most of the minor bolt on's are useless on a near stock engine . Dwayne

    Need some help finding this bolt

    the stud from ford is about $12. If you can get the car in the air use a 6point deep socket and a long extension and breaker bar you should be able to replace it. You should not have to remove the manifold but it will be useful to have an impact gun because it is in there tight. Dwayne

    High oil pressure after PI swap

    Um what year is your car? After 96 the guage is no more than a on off switch activated after 4psi. The guage is setup to read mid scale once the pressure excedes the pressure required to trip the switch. The only way to know the real pressure is to install an aftermarket guage. Dwayne
