    Engine Bobby wants to fix his turbo car

    I just bought a 90 mustang GT,5.0, automatic with a turbo. I noticed the exhaust and fuel system has been upgraded. I also noticed a vent line not on there. I'm not sure if it's because of turbo or just was left off. This car is very clean and very fast. I also need to do a head gasket job on...

    Engine 1990 5.0- Overheating and Smoke after Head Swap (Need advice ASAP)

    I'm getting desperate at this point. So, I had bad compression in two of my cylinders and my car drank coolant before I started this job nearly two months ago, so figured I would check the head gaskets. I have never had this engine open since I got the car. At the same time, I pulled some GT40p...

    Proud 2kGT Owner Looking for Info

    What up Fellow Stang Owners! Bought my SN95 a few months ago from my neighbor. May as well have stolen it from them for what I paid. Either way, the car was half dead and barely running. I've done a decent amount on it thus far (tune up, coolant flush, oil change, & rear drums and brake pads)...

    Skip at low (<2000 RPM), new exhaust smell

    My 2003 GT started a skip a couple of months ago I attributed to a failing ignition coil (it’s happened before), I thought I’d wait it out and use my scanner when it got bad enough to draw a check engine light. Now, it hasn’t gotten worse, and it’s only at lower engine speeds, but now I smell...

    2.3 Head Gasket

    I'm fairly sure I have a blown head gasket on my hands. I'm getting like a coffee cream color on the oil dip stick. I'm doing an oil change tomorrow to see for sure if coolant is mixing with it. If someone could point me toward a head gasket replacement step by step instructions that'd be fantastic

I went around the surface with a straight edge and .006 & .003 feeler gauge (same tolerance for the heads) it all...
