    how in the hell do you get stripped out intake plaque bolts out...

    They should change the name of E-Z outs to Not So E-Z outs. If a bolt is seized enough in place and breaks when you try and remove it,an E-Z out will most likely break as well.

    OT: Know anything about Thunderbird SCs?

    They are heavy cars and I think the 3.8L is known for blowing head gaskets. The 3.8L engine is known for getting rough at higher rpm`s. I was talking to a guy at a gas station years ago who had a newer SC. He was adding oil and said the engine liked using oil.

    1.7 ROCKERS

    I have Crane 1.7`s with the valve cover baffle removed and no oil makes it`s way up. Roller rockers,(at least these Crane) have smaller oil passages and don`t piss out oil like stock rockers.

    Tick Tick Tick

    How stiff are the valve springs?If these are the puny 5/16" stock rocker bolts,I doubt they can take a lot of spring pressure. If one broke,others may break as well.

    Does that Super Coupe blower have the capacity to flow enough air on the larger 5.0L engine at the same psi range it did on the 3.8L SC engine?

    What are the symptoms of bad lower manifold gaskets?

    If it`s leaking where the manifold meets the head,I would try retorquing the lower manifold bolts first. They may be loose.

    Which intake is better?

    No oil baffle on the Typhoon...brilliant. I wonder how many have installed the intake unaware of this and wonder why their engine is using oil? Junk! I`ve read the BBK SSI intake likes sucking oil up the PCV as well. What`s with the aftermarket?:notnice:

    Battery Cables

    The thread starter has a 95 GT. I think the battery cables on these cars are crazy.All kinds of things connected to them.That`s why they cost so much. Different than the fox body set up.
