    The Pistons Are Unionized Aside from not having anyone to catch the piston as I gently tapped it out from underneath I was pretty proud of the job. Although we have been here before. The first piston always comes out nice and easy, and looks very clean. It's like your first kid... short...

    How Ironic So I cleaned up the sludge in the oil pan before I called it quits for the day. The oil pan looked pretty good aside from a bit of rust around the drain plug area about the size of a credit card. Question is when I clean it up with a wire wheel do I coat it with something or leave...

    LOL, shoot it looks like somebody's been actually reading my posts and is giving me a taste of my own medicine, hee hee. In that case I may actually have the skills and ability to replace the oil pump, imagine that. As far as #3 the cover bolts count, as does the crank shaft pulley - you...

    Show Us Your Bits !!! Man the Crankshaft looks fantastic! And I am not pulling it, never done it, it's way out of my league. Yes I could remove it but I don't even wanna think about putting in new bearings, plus it would need machining and the whole 9 yards. The Oil Pump looks like someone...

    Self Proclaimed Certified Two Bolt Master Mechanic - SPCTBMM I don't know about you guys, but I judge repairs by how many bolts I gots to remove in order to get the job done. The more bolts the more difficult the job. Having said that I consider myself a Two Bolt Mechanic. Allow me to give...

    Handlebars come off... with the milk shake cocktail drained it was time to remove the oil pan, in order to do that I had to remove the cross member or as I like to call it 'handlebars' held in by two large bolts, I don't know why I always imagined the cross member goes under the transmission...

    you know I am excited about your idea, heck if you have the skills and know how, why not morf it, but often times I prefer the gen 1 transplant onto a modern drive train, know what I mean, good looks of the 60's with the "performance" of the 11 teens (lol) but don't let anyone here to sway you...

    302 heads on a 289

    I don't think that's what's considered a stuck or collapsed lifter. A stuck lifter means the hydraulic components inside the lifter are stuck. So in other words the lifter itself will slide in and out of it's hole just fine, but the part inside the lifter itself does not move up and down. What...

    302 heads on a 289

    Not sure how you are getting that part number off the information provided, or I should say lack of information. Unfortunately the actual part number prefix is stamped under the heads, and I'm not sure it's worth taking one off just to confirm the part number. But that would give you the...

    Draining The Water [ahem] Oil... So in order to drain the water out of your Mustang, you just undo the big drain plug bolt in the oil pan under the car, RIGHT ? The water was so clear I could drink it. Man I should have really paid more attention in chemistry class, cause oil...

    My BIG 25 Inch meanwhile behind the facade of this innocent looking suburban garage... I am still busting my knuckles trying to turn the damn engine over. Well the heads are off so I doubt it's a compression problem, LOL. I picked up the biggest breaker bar - 25 inch at Harbor Freight...
