    knocking when clutch is engaged (at idle)

    I just replaced everything (clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, TOB) about 6k miles ago, but over the last 2k the TOB has started squeeling again. I adjusted the clutch so there was a little pressure on it at all times to lessen the squeeling but that only lasted for about a week before the...

    As seen in my sig, just dropped a 4.6 from an 04 grand marquis (only 20k miles on it) into my 2000 stang, and used the injectors on the engine. The clips on the injector harnesses wont clip onto the injectors (I fabbed a way for them to stay on securely) and I get a lean code every month or...

    I'm leaking coolant like crazy from where the intake meets the gasket beneath where the thermostat is. I replaced the intake w/ the plastic coolant crossover w/ an aluminum one. The rad hose is torqued through the intake and into the head pretty tightly. Brand new gaskets around the...

    is the SVT Lightning reliable?

    I am really getting sick of all the crap w/ my car. I found a pretty good deal on a low mileage 99 SVT Lightning. Are they problematic or pretty solid? Consumer reports likes the F-150 but it doesn't really say anything about the SVT. and yeah I know that this is the 4.6 talk, but I know you...

    Engine Stops...low RPM under load

    Over the last few months I've felt like things haven't quite been running like they should...for instance in the higher gears at half throttle you'd feel the car...not really buck but changes in power even though my foot wasn't moving....very similiar to that of a misfire. On the way home...

    Alright - which set is better... I've gone back to the stock ones currently, but I'm torn. The aftermarket ones seem scratched on the inside when they're on...the light brings out imperfections.

    Back up and running after about 4 months! (pics)

    The story... Back before last Haloween my car started making some weird noises that sounded like a knock and increased w/ RPM. Well as it turns out the dipstick was very inaccurate and showed full when the oil level was at about 1qt. Needless to say it spun a rod bearing. I drove it...

    what would this cause...

    I hoisted the engine out of the stang yesterday...and found that one of the egr hoses was badly split down at the nipple on the EGR tube. It was surely leaking. Would this cause a vaccuum leak? I'm not really sure of what kind of air goes through there. The reason I ask is because I've...
