    Help me diagnose an engine noise!

    I know this drives you guys nuts, but please forgive me. I've searched numerous sites and I cannot find a similar noise noted anywhere! I have a noise in my engine that I would NOT call a knock. More like a chirp, flutter or maybe a clinking. Not knock. The car is a '97 with 64,000 miles, stock...

    How does a bolt-on 4.6 2V compare to a stock 350Z?

    Let's just say I came up next to one at the track today. It seemed as though I smoked him from 70-100. Then, he gave me the ricer fly-by and I let him go up to what appeared to be about 150. I kept waiting on the po-po to show up, but no luck there. Anyway, cruising along, we both looked and...

    T-45 question.

    I searched, but couldn't find what I'm looking for. On the top of the tranny on the passenger side right below where the shifter mounts and above the FILL plug there is a rubber grommet type thing that just plugs into the side of the tranny. What is it and what is it for? Fluid leaks out of...

    Engine Pic?

    I searched for engine picture/pics, but I can't find what I'm looking for. Can someone post a picture of the driver's side of a 4.6 2V engine out of the car. I'm trying to locate an oil leak. I need an up close shot of the bottom of the block from the front cover to the back between the...

    I need some insight on an oil leak!

    I had my PI heads installed in November, but I only put about 2,000 miles on my car since then. Well, I got under the car to check some things out and I had a drop of oil in the middle of the oil filter on the bottom. I was able to tighten it up about 1/8 turn. There was no oil residue on the...

    Car seems quieter after tune??? Am I crazy?

    Just what it says. I got an SCT x-calibrator and installed last night. I put about 50 miles on the car now and it seems hella quiet. I have stock manifolds, o/r mac h-pipe and mac catback. I guess it's just not backfiring anymore and I think it's more quiet, but when I accelerate throught...

    Oil Change Interval Question???

    I couldn't find this exact oil subject. I only drive my car about 5,000 - 6,000 miles a year. If I change my oil at 3,000 miles, it gets changed every 6 months. It feels like I'm depriving the engine for some reason. :rlaugh: Anyway, is there a time limit for oil. Should I change it...

    Need opinions on dyno run?

    I got my car dyno'd today (Sorry I can't post graph). My peak numbers are 290 RWTQ at 4,000 RPM and 249 RWHP at 4,900. It was a dynojet model 248. Anyway, after studying my graph, I realize that the torque and horsepower intersect at 4,500RPM. I thought it should intersect at 5,252??? I...

    Headswap Update: It's a celebration, B1tche5.

    I can only offer SOTP right now, but dyno numbers will follow in a few weeks??? Anyway, it feels the same up to about 3,000 RPMs, then where it used to rev about as fast as a snail with a broken leg (I stole this from somewhere --- sorry, dude it's funny), now it takes off like a rocketship...

    PI Head Question?

    Got my headswap kit from Parkway Ford today. Everything is there and now my buddy can't help for a couple weeks :notnice: :notnice: :notnice: Anyway, I'm looking over the heads and inspecting them and I don't see where PI is stampled into them anywhere. Is PI always stamped on the heads...

    PI Headswap and Timing?

    I have the Parkway Ford PI headswap ordered and I was wondering about the timing. With the added compression is it good to leave it at the stock 10*. If I go 12-14* will it help or hurt performance? Any suggestions from someone with experience would be appreciated.

    Any news on 4.6 lower intakes lately?

    :shrug: :shrug: I haven't been keeping up on my Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords and other literature. Has C&L or any of the others produced a new lower intake for our cars yet? I have a 97 with a stock lower intake and I'm waiting for it to bust. I don't want the PI intake if I don't have to...
