    T5-Z trans question.

    On the T5-Z, is reverse synchronized? I have to put the car in first gear then into reverse so it doesn't grind. The trans is a week old.

    Lean at idle Help

    Just got a wideband and at idle the car is very lean. It reads 16:1 (max) when cold and between 15-16:1 when warm. Where do I start? I noticed my fuel pressure is low (30psi) but would that matter at idle? Fuel ratio is pretty good at 14.4-14.9 cruising and WOT. I heard that clocking the MAF...

    Professional Products harmonic balancer

    When buying the PP harmonic balancer, I know I will need the .950" spacer. Do I need a new bolt when using stock size crank pulley or can I reuse the stock bolt? If I do need it, is it some standard bolt where I can get it at a local parts store?

    How much is an engine rebuild?

    I have a 92 5.0 .030 over to a 306 with TRW pistons and the mods in the signature. Main concern is piston rings, I get smoke after hard driving. How much should an engine rebuild cost? Might have to go with .040 overbore to a 308. BTW The engine would still be in the car so the rebuilder...

    Why does the PCV hose run to two spots on the intake?

    I'm redoing my upper and lower intake. I noticed that the hose runs from the PCV to the upper intake on the side and then it goes to the bottom of the upper. Do I need it hooked up in two spots like that?

    Some questions before re-installing lower intake.

    1 When you guys drop the lower intake in place (trickflow in this case) how do you keep the gaskets from moving around when trying to position the intake into place? 2 IF I were to use the cork seals which are self adhesive on the bottom side, can you put a light film of RTV over the top of...

    Oil all over intake gasket from PCV! *PIC*

    So I'm looking for the source of smoke and surging idle and I think I found it. How do I stop the PCV valve from drawing oil? I tried a cheap oil seperator but it was just that, cheap. Notice how the gasket is only oily on the right side where the PCV hose is attached to the intake.

    Lower intake sucking oil? Is it possible to test?

    Sometimes my car will blow a little smoke after hard driving. It also has a bad idle when cold and backfire into the intake if I drive it cold, but just fine when it warms up after 3-4 mins. Does this sound like a vac leak in the lower intake manifold by the heads? Is it possible to test this...

    A/C and smog delete question.

    What do I need to move the power steering pump to the A/C location and delete the smog pump. (I just want to use a shorther belt, not the idlers). EDIT: I think I found it. http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=M8511A50+01

    Vaccum lines question.

    Ok so I might redo all my vaccum lines since I don't know what the previous owner did. I need some of your guys help with this. I don't have the smog pump hooked up, no egr, no A/C, no cruise control on the car. Wouldn't this mean that the only vaccum lines I need is the PCV, fuel pressure...

    Post your vaccum numbers. Do I have a vac leak?

    How much vaccum do you get at idle? What is your RPM at idle? I get 10" at idle. Do I have a vac leak? I have an F cam so my vac numbers may be lower I think. I'm asking because I have a bit of hesitation at 2000 rpm and the idle surges if the weather is below ~70 degrees.
