thats the hole where the hydralic lash adjusters go.. you should be able to fish it out of there with a magnet...

You can buy one of those long magnet sticks. I think they sell them at Lowe's or Home Depot...

Mike, Im going to have to disagree.. That looks like the oil passage.. the lash adjuster should be on the intake manifold side of the cam...

Im not sure if that would lead straight to the oil pan or not..

This morning I get to checkers and got the extension magnet , It did went to oil pan . I fish for a while and I got it. Yayayaya Thank for at stangsource adgranley for your good working advices. It was oil drain back hole.

Big problem guy big. I found that guy on craglist, he said he is ford certified and ****. He said he will come this morning 7:30 am but din't came. I call his cell phone but no answer so I left voicemail. 2 pm I went to work and call him but still no answer. I again called him around 8:30pm and no answer . My engine is wide open and all his tools are here.

He told me he will be back but no call from him yet. He had a mustang gt too but old model like 1994-1998. I got his license plate when he was leaving.

Don't know what to do and who to call. I am fu**ed

What should I do?
Should I call cops if he don't call me back by sunday?
It was $450.00 for the install and I gave him $100 so far.

This time I am very worried about my car, Please help asap. I really need all your help.

Sorry to hear of your situation man.
TTT
Can anyone help this guy out?

 

[thomas91169]

ive never done cam installs on a 4.6, but if i lived in vegas id swing by and see whats up.

sorry about the luck bro. at least you only lost 100 and didnt give him full up front, maybe he just doesnt work on weekends?

 

[san~man]

Well, look at it this way. You two entered into a contract, so you basically have a civil matter on your hands. Besides, you have his tools, and he has your $100.00. Which do you think is worth more?? I say the tools.

Mike or anyone can you help him?

well I am sure he will want his tools back, So I bet he shows up..

 

[SilverBullet00]

yeah, im sure he will be back- i deffinetely wouldnt pay the full price for the install though. Make sure you are nice to the guy untill he finishes the install, id hate for him to screw something up on purpose.

If I lived near you Id come over and finish her up for ya! if you want to take a stab at finishing it yourself there are plenty of people here that can talk you through it- including me.

 

[Cantslowdown]

Man that sucks but he will want his tools back..But thats not right at all I would let him finsh the install but i would let him know how you felt after its all done and said..

 

[lvmustanggt]

I am sad and mad Don't know what to do where to go

 

[nwapache]

Damn that sucks, but if you have any mechanical skills, between a HAYNES and all the help you can get from us, we can walk you through the install......as far as this guy goes, you are inconvenienced but not SOL. Sure you coughed up a hundy, but you got some tools out of it. No point in calling the police as there is nothing criminal, just stupid.
Let us know if you want to tackle the install, or pick up the yellow pages and look at mobile mechanics so you can get someone else out there. Sounds like your last guy is a tweaker.

Here is a idea if the guy don't come back you could tow your
car to a shop and have them finish it install.
It mite cost you but, the job will be done.

 

[lvmustanggt]

today that guys came and told me all the stories about what happen.
I bought a valve springs compressor from auto zone and it doesn't hold the springs in place right and slips all the time so we stoped. Where do I go to get good valve springs vompressor ?

The beehive valve springs from comp cams and stock valve springs looks the same. Are they really looks the same ? If so what is the differents?
