Thanks to all those who helped me along the way:nice: :SNSign: Sorry its dark...havent driven the car yet. Still gotta burp the cooling system and set the idle, fuel pressure, and timing. My FTI cam seems to idle smoother than my comp cams xtreme energy (218/224...

Ok, almost done with the cam swap...Where do the 2 green and red vac hoses go? I know one oges to the EGR and the other goes to the intake..but forget which one goes where....:shrug:

:bang: I swear this cam swap will never end. I was trying to finish everything up and one of the fuel rail bolts would go in half way and get really tight so I tried to use my thread chasing kit to chase the threads in the hole and I snapped the chaser in the bolt hole. There is a portion of...

Ok as mentioned in the title my moms 95 windstar doesnt crank. THe relay clicks and the solenoid clicks but no cranking occurs. Now when I say it clicks, its not a rapid clicking like when the battery dies and the solenoid clicks on and off. When you turn the key to start it clicks once and...

Yea yea I know its been a while...Havent had much time to work on the car. Anyways, I had the romac honed out a bit at a local engine builders...they charged me $25 bux. It still didnt slip on at all without heat. But I put it in boiling water for like 20+min. and it went on up to the keyway...

Ok reinstalling the valvetrain and I notice that the fulcrum on the RR's (specifically the center hole where the stud goes thru) has a machined flat on one side around the center hole, and if I roll the fulcrum over 180 deg. while holding the rocker body steady the other side does not have this...

As the title says. Theres no flow direction on the thing and I threw out my previous one weeks ago. Just tell me if the pointy side of the thermostat points toward the intake or the radiator when installed. Thanks guys.:D

I rented an install tool for it but the way it sits I'm gonna be able to get a deep socket on the installer nut to get it started...but I'm gonna bottom out socket before the balancer makes it on all the way. I want to avoid using the installer altogether and try the heating method. Anyone...

As the title sez....if anyone has a pic or could tell me where it goes that would be cool. I should have taken pictures before I got started:bang:

well got the timing cover off and the old cam out (thanks for everyones help in that matter)..I debating replacing my water pump as part of preventative maintanance..then I got on the idea of an electric pump...supposedly merziere is making ones for the street that that very reliable now...so...

How the heck do you get the freaking balancer off. I rented the tool for it and I snapped one of the 2 bolts that bolt into the crank pulley bolt holes. The other bolt bent and the bolthead is galled. I was able to get the broken one out of the balancer luckily...but yea why the heck isnt it...

Ok how do you guyz get the ac condenser out. I removed the two top bolts but it seems to still be in there good. Are there any other bolts I'm missing? Also, as far as swinging it out of the way I'm not sure what is meant by this. Where do you swing it out (I'm leaving the lines connected as the...

Lets say when your sitting in the drivers seat...does the motor spin clockwise or counterclockwise from that point of view? I'm gonna use the starter with a breaker bar held against something like the floor or frame rail to to take off the harmonic balancer bolt. OH...I already took all the...

Ok I'm considering getting some nice gauges. An oil pressure and a water temp gauge. Anyone use anything besides autometer for a quality gauge and if so how do you like them. Also, I was wondering how well Autometers cobalt gauges match our factory black and blue gauges, if anyone has seen the...

Whats the thread info on the factory wheel studs? I have a damaged thread on one of my rear wheel studs and it destroys lugnuts upon install. I was hoping I could get a tap and die set and chase the threads hopefully straightening or removing the damaged threads. The damaged threads are almost...

As the title sez...I'm looking for OEM or one of stock stiffness. Mine is bent from sliding into a curb a while ago and its preventing me from changing my rear ride height (i have LCA's w/ adjustable perches). I was also considering hammering the bent one for clerance around the perch...or is...

Ed recommends a billet timing set and my old Pro gear setup that DSS installed isnt. However it only has like 10k-15k miles on it. I will prolly check it for chail slop before I buy a new one...but I'd like to know what replacement I should get before I rip everything apart. Any...

:OT: just got my initial cam specs from Ed:D It's a big one. Anyways, I was looking at lots of installs and I'm going to have to cut the oil pan gasket up front apperently. But I have a steel reinforced (core) 1 piece from FRPP already installed. Cutting that isnt going to be easy and sealing...

For those wanting to get the proper key code for ther locks....I looked at the paperwork that came with my tumbler today (I was getting ready to throw out the box and papers) and it came with directions for figuring out your key code by taking measurements from your existing keys. I will scan...

FOr those with custom cams....from ED. How long did it take you guyz to get your cams? I have a bad blown rear intake seal which got oil on my clutch and I dunno how long the clutch will hold (its going south already:bang: ). I dont wanna take the intake off now and do it again when the cam gets...
