    Can coolant come from...

    The timing chain cover? I ask because I'm still leaking coolant. Ever since I flushed my radiator last fall I've had coolant leaks. I thought it was the weep hole on the water pump so I replaced that. It looked as though the gasket was pretty deteriorated too so I'm wondering about the...

    Leak be gone?

    I had trouble finding mine a couple weeks ago, it turned out to be the weep hole in the water pump. It seemed to leak worst soon after the car was turned off.

    Really bad fogging windows

    If your car is cooling properly it won't overheat your car.

    the oddest thing...

    Install your gears. It's the stock gearing more than likely is why you have more power above 3k. It takes a bit of lugging with the stock gears to get it rolling but when you get up to about 3k it really takes off, especially if you were used to the 3.55's that you had in your '89.

    front end vibration when braking high speeds

    I'd say warped rotors, but I'd check the ball joints too.

    What size drain plugs for oil?

    The heads are starting to round off, I've been to Ford twice to get new ones and they send me a couple that is way too big. It's for a '91 5.0L. I'd like to get the right ones before I change my oil today.

    94/95 5.0 into a Fox....

    Not sure on the clutch/flywheel sizes, but other than that it should work. There is more clearance under the fox than the 94-95's, but I belive everything else is more than likely the same except maybe the intake setup, which I think may have been modded to fit the 94-95's but will easily fit...

    Water Pump

    Well, I investigated my leak and it wasn't oil after all but coolant. I believe it's coming out of the water pump. Obviously it needs replaced, is there anything else in there I ought to do whille I have it off and out of the way? I haven't had a very good water pump year. I have two farm...

    Shifting troubles

    It could very well be the tranny fluid. It seems to get notchy and every once in a while it'll grind a bit when I shift. I imagine that hasn't been changed by the previous owner. Thanks.

    Which is more likely to be leaking oil?

    It doesn't leak too bad. I don't have to add any oil yet between changes. I was just kind of curious if it would be an easy fix since that's the only leak I got. I hate oil on my garage floor lol. I'm gonna try to get in there and get a better look somehow. With my luck though, I'd fix this...

    Which is more likely to be leaking oil?

    It's comming from the front of the motor. It runs down the front of the oil pan to the drain plug and drips off. So actually I shoulda specified the front main seal. Sorry.

    Which is more likely to be leaking oil?

    Would it be comming from around the crank or from the timing chain cover? I've looked up under the car, and I can't tell for sure where it's comming from. I'm gonna have to do some more investigating tomorrow. The oil is dripping from around the crank, but maybe it's leaking above that? It's...

    Shifting troubles

    My car seems to get harder to get into gear the longer I drive it. In other words, I can take off and probably drive 20 miles or so and it shifts fine. After that it seems as it gets harder to get it to go thru the gears. Could it be maybe cause the clutch is out of adjustment, I imagine it...

    yes or no for gears?

    I would say the 3.73's would be the better for city driving. You don't have to put your foot into it as much to get going. Out on the highway though is where your milage would go down with the 3.73's running at a higher rpm.

    WTF? Wipers crazy

    THat is a Ford trait. I had two rangers that did that. I believe there was a recall for certain vehicles, they replacedc the motor, but I don't think it fixed them, I believe some of those motors were defective too. I'd be driving along and the wipers would go thru a cycle and I'd be like...

    is there a oil pump-to-block gasket?

    I had an old International Loadstar 1600 with a 345cui, I changed the oil filter bracket and it didn't take a gasket either. I was surprised. It doesn't leak though. I did spray both sides with gasket sealant though, to kind of seal up imperfections between the surfaces. The bracket I used...
