Update: Tried using the new repo-type cast 289 Hipo headers, but the exhaust ports on the passanger side did not line up with the exhaust ports of the AFR heads. Found the Patriot Tri-y ceramic headers fit nicely with a little modification to the bell housing and clutch Z-bar on 4 speed car. I...

M & R Engines I did business with them once, and I would NOT do repeat business with them. To those who have read my earlier post, I was lucky to have them replace my old pistons with new ones. Hopefully, they will perform well and I can forget about this experience. I would advise...

Thanks for the info on BAR. I am in the beginning stages of the problem with M & R Motors; aka M & R Engines. Here is a little more info; What I discovered was he used stock 1993 hypereutectic pistons which will not accept larger than standard valves. It has been a month since I returned the...

Well, let me add my discouraging experience about M & R Motors aka M & R Engines. Sold me a 5.0 short block, with cam, lifters, balanced, and they degreed the cam, etc. I was told I could install heads with 2.02 intake and 1.60 valves and there would be plenty of clearance, but after a short...

Happy ending for AFR185s and valve reliefs Thanks to the infomation I obtained from Stangnet and its member's, I was able to discuss the valve relief issue with M and R Engines in Glendale, and they have agreed to fix the problem with the valve reliefs. And, thank you M and R Engines in...

Sorry about the "Thread Jacking"; being a rookie at using a forum, and at putting together and engine isn't easy to live with. I used 1.6 roller rockers. I looked on the web for 1.5 ratio rockers, but didn't find them for a ford 5.0/AFR185 heads. I called a local maching shop about cutting...

Thanks for your reply Woodsnake. I don't understand what you mean by a shorter valve may help solve the problem. My understanding is the valve lift is created by the cam lobe, and rocker ratio. As I understand it, a shorter valve would only make a difference in causing the roller tip to hit...

Fortunately, did not bend the valves. Really, there is very little damage, just some scratches at the edge of the valves. There was not hint of a problem while it was running, just when I took the heads off to fix the leak coming from areound one of the ARP head studs. I'll try to load...

I can agree there is some builder fault, and first and foremost is not checking the shops claims. I did use 1.6 roller rockers and I have checked the wear pattern on the top of the valve stems; wear is in the center as it is suppose to be. I am wondering if during the adjustment of the valves...

P2V clearance No they didn't do a physical check. I intalled the heads. But, when I inquired if there would be enough clearance, they did some calculations on their computer (at least it looked like it), and said yes, there is enought clearance, no problem. They also offered to install...

Valves vs Piston, AFR185, Speed Pro L2482F, Comp Cam XE276 hyd roller Here is the deal. Bought a 5.0 HO short block from M and R Engines in Glendale, CA. I live in Elk Grove, CA. Unfortunately, the boss, Matt is too busy to call me back; well called me once but I called 3 time since and no...

Tri-y headers, 1965 Mustang I didn't mean to make it sound like my engine was not sitting level, or I intended to raise one side and not the other. What I was referring to was information about raising the engine level 1/4" to enable certain headers to clear, I think it was a JBA shorty header...

Patriot Headers Thanks again for your reply, 2+2GT. I will go with the Patriot Tri-y headers. And, thanks for the tip on the adjusting rods for the z-bar. That was the one problem with the first set I tried. Hopefully, the next set will require a little less adjustment, and the right side...

ralph6648 Thanks for your reply. I originally wanted to put the Tri-y's on, but am reluctant to purchase another pair because of the earlier set I bought that didn't fit. Many of the Mustang stores sell the Patriot brand. Ever use these?

Thanks Coolblues65. That is one set that I can consider. Do you know anyone who has or is using either Hedman 88308 Elite Hedders thermal coated, or Patriot 8426-1 Tri-y Ceramic coated headers? These are listed on Summitt Racing website as fitting my application.

Anyone have experience with headers for a 65 coupe, factory 4 speed using the factory z-bar, 302 HO engine with AFR heads and ARP studs, and I am using 1965 motor mounts. I tried a pair of tri-ys but found they were for an automatic only; they interfered with the z-bar on the left, and the right...
