2005 town car (4.6L 2v V8, 150k, runs on 5W-30). During cold start (especially in cold weather) knocking noise is heard mostly from one side of the engine for about 30-90 seconds, then quiet. I decided to change lifters (hydraulic lash adjusters) and rocker arms and inspect chain while I will be...
Hello Everyone,
I recently had a Spark plug blow out of my cylinder head and became eager to fix it. I have already repaired the spark plug threading on the head and torqued the head down following proper torque spec and sequence procedure. In the process of removing the timing cover I set the...
I have a 2003 Mustang GT with a Vortech v3 Si Air to Water power cooler on it, it seems to be the anderson kit judging based off of the power pipe if that matters. I have been looking into upgrading the blowoff/bypass valve but every single upgraded BOV seems to have a mounting flange/bracket...

I have a 2002 Mustang GT 5 speed with 3.73 gears, a cold air intake, a 91 octane bama tune, an SLP loudmouth catback exhaust, and a throttle body. I really want to put in some cams but don’t know if I should have some supporting mods first. I was looking at stage 2 comp cams because it...
Hey, hope everyone is doing well. Got a couple questions that I've been trying to get answers for for awhile now. I own a 5spd '04 GT that I bought around 5 months ago.
My Mustang does not have cats or a check engine light. Are there any codes that are thrown up that could indicate that my...
I have a 98 GT and I am getting ready to do a PI swap. While the heads are out I figure it would be a good time to do the cams and springs. My question is what will work best for a stock bottom end stage I or Stage 2? I have heard there are clearance issues with stage 3 and up. Looking to keep...
I need help or even suggestions from anyone with a similar problem. The car was driving normally, and i am just cruising along as the car just stops. After it stops, a metal clanking noise is heard. Going to start it, the battery is just fine and the starter just clicks, but its a metallic click...
Alright guys I’m beating my head on a wall. I just finished up converting my 01 GT from a auto (40r70w) to a manual (tr3650). Tried to start it up and nothing. Original though was that it was the neutral safety switch so I looped the wires (gonna install remote start down the road so I’d have to...
Trying to install an aftermarket coolant temp gauge on 2002 4.6l 2v. I think the computer uses the stock sensor on the engine (correct me if I’m wrong), so was looking for an alternate location to install a coolant temp sensor. Any ideas? The sensor that came with the gauge has 1/8” npt...
I have a 1998 Ford Mustang Gt with a PI engine and a couple bolt ons. I had a no start issue and checked everything. Fuel pressure is at the Schrader valve, and I have spark. It cranks but doesn’t start. The theft light was flashing so I thought I would take my sct tuner and get pats disabled. I...

I’ve got a 2003 GT mustang 4.6l. I was driving it home and the motor started to make a squeaking noise. When I pushed the clutch in the car shut down. Pulled over and the motor wouldn’t turn over as if it was seized. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then tried again and it slowly cranked over...
Just wondering if any of you guys know what could be leaking from this photo? It's only that spot that looks damp. Note that it hasnt gotten as bad as to drip on the floor yet, and that's what I'm trying to avoid. I can't seem to tell if its water or oil. Hope you guys can shed some light on it...
Just wanted some info I had a 2010 Grand Marquis motor put in my 01 GT and it is missing the etc sensor on the aluminum crossover. What is the best way to get a hole drilled for the sensor? Will the manifold have to be removed? Just want to know my best option as I don't have any drilling...
Hey everyone, hope you all are staying safe during this virus. From day one I've been trying to crack down my problem of pinging with low rpm high load situations. Now I do have a bama tune, before everyone attacks me, I know, it's not the greatest but I've had great luck with them. They worked...
