    Alright folks, 1 more code and i'm clean.

    I think there should be a line from the fuel tank hard vent line to the canister... then a separate one from canister to intake manifold.

    Fix a flat can how does this work?

    It seals the inside of the tire by being spread out by centrifugal force. So as soon as you put it in you want to drive around for awhile. I would only recommend it IF you cannot dismount a tire, or afford to have someone do it, to have the hole patched correctly...

    door hinge kits how-to?

    Oil the bushings. The door has to be removed at least part way in order to change bushings. SO if you are doing this yourself, and don't have a way to support the door with a strap around the windowframe, it would be easiest for you to find the door wiring connector behind the kickpanel...

    Front is leaking Bad

    NOW you tell me :bang: ANYWAYS the ranger engine bay is a bit shorter so not as much fun to work on as a mustang. Start off removing the belt, radiator fan and waterpump pulley, and crank pulley. I think that is all the accessories in the way? The serpentine belt tensioner (if you have...

    tranny problem

    there are 2 plugs on the passenger side, each has a square recess that you stick a 3/8" drive ratchet into (preferably a long one). Remove the bottom one and the old fluid drains out. Replace it, then remove the top one and fill the transmission with about 5.3 pints (about 2-2/3 quarts) Dexron...

    Front is leaking Bad

    The TIMING COVER on these engines is the black plastic shield over the belt, not the lower housing over the front of the crankshaft (that would be overhead valve engines). So behind that cover, there are the front of the valve cover seal (front of valve cover has to go around cam so it's a...

    tranny problem

    ATF. Need more info on that. Can you get it in any forward gear easily after stepping on the clutch pedal at a stop (engine running)? Do the gears seem to be more of a problem when upshifting or downshifting?

    FIRST go to NAPA or an automotive tool supplier, get a suction cup for handling glass, try to yank the dent out with that.

    Cylinder bore prep???

    ok I would use a rigid hone when milling off a couple thousandths from cylinder wall either to top off the boring process, or to attempt to return a partially worn bore to perfectly cylindrical. To scratch the surface up WITHOUT altering its shape, the ball hone is more appropriate. I...

    Sticking throwout bearings

    Door Hinge Pins

    there's no hole in the middle of factory pins... just gotta HE-MAN on that pin to budge it, maybe you should relieve the weight of the door too.

    Cylinder bore prep???

    I would recommend letting a machine shop do it with a torque plate for optimum ring sealing. I did my own hone job on one of my car engines (just a re-ring) and it burns a quart every 1000 miles cause it wasn't torque plate honed.

    Winter beater

    Tallest and narrowest tires you can find. "All-season" tires or tires stamped "mud and snow" do NOT count for ****. Look at the tread, should be deep with good spacing and preferably a channel or other arrangement of tread down the centerline of the tire that collects snow and water. Because the...

    Can anybody confirm?

    When I looked at the pic the shiny spot on the follower looked square so I thought it was a slider. NOW I look closer and it could be a roller. I dunno... Can't see why someone would group roller followers with a ripoff cam so it's probably a roller cam. A better pic would be nice though, did...
