still trying to get the pony started....

[mustangsally93]

Well about two weeks ago with put the engine back in the car and got it all in and back to stock. Well we started to do the timing but we could'nt get it to stay running. So I drop it and a shop to have them fix it and they said the number one pistion had a hole in it(they never took the heads off). But the timing marks on the timing chain was right and the engine ran fine before we took it out. So now me and a buddy are going to rip off the p/s head and find out whats wrong?.... Do you guys know what it could be????

well We just went out to the farm and started missing with the pony. Well the number 1 pistion had no comp. But all the others did, so now we are going to take the head off and see what we find. By the way if anyone is every in omaha, Ne NEVER go to hp motorsports. They messed up my pony bad!!!

this cobra was raped by my brother and this is the stock engine out of my old 93 lx. It well never be a REAL clean cobra. But I'm trying to fix that...

Ah ok, your cars confused me!


Anyway you'll have to pull the head and see if the gasket blew or the rings broke.

but the thing about how would that happen?? I so lost on this and all my friend can't see why all this is happening

So after lunch we are going back, so later to night I'll have pics and more about it...

HG's commonly blow on 5.0's. Nothing really surprising. I'd expect to see that over a "hole in the piston" on a stock 5.0 motor.

How would it happen?? Did anybody take the car out for an extreme ride before this happened?

Can only really speculate. Gotta see what you find when you pull that head.

It doesn't look like the Cobra "red" for 93 either. Maybe it's just a bad picture.

You are right. The red is way too dark

Like I said the car was rapped. It was been a gt then back to a cobra and now a lx. The body is all sitting next to the car. Also I repainted in back in 94.. Hey my brother wanted it like that.... What a tool

So I guess it's not really "stock" .... not trying to be an a$$ about it.
