No ring found. Which is why I am making a list to see how many people are having ring problems.

Do a leak down test. And a compression test. I do not believe anyone anymore who says its the valve seals. I pulled mine off at 50k ish and they looked great. No leaking. It was my missing oil ring on #6 and the cylinder scratches. Greg

nevermind.. ooopps...

As of early last month I had to park my car for some apparent smoking under decelleration. Well, I figured since it was after my cam install it was the valve seals, but I was wrong. It was some scratches in number #3 cylinder and a screwed up #3 spark plug thread that cause me to pull the motor...

tell me whats missing...

How many of you guys have had a problem with burning oil between oil changes? My car before modding was thought to have the original motor but recently found a small metal "Ford Remanufactured Tag" on the side of the block. So not only was I pissed considering I bought the car used with the...

As for the power I am not sure. I can definately feel a difference in torque on the bottom end and midrange. I am supposed to do a field test against my old trans am that my roomate has. So that will definately let me know what changed since we were about even before. I did this mod because I...

Well the swap is complete and I love it. The car idles very nice. A bit lopey at times and sometimes just a bit rough. I am letting the computer learn itself before I start investigating anything. The swap should take about 1 full day or maybe a full weekend if you take your time but it was very...

Take out the crappy supplied bolt that comes with the pullies. After about 20,000 miles this is what mine looked like. So I went and bought a grade 8 bolt and will not be reusing this one since it is stretched to the point of looking like it has coarse and fine thread on the same bolt.

Like said above. I use around 3-4 foot of extensions. I have pulled mine 3 times twice for the throwout bearing being noisy and have never had a problem. Just use long extensions and you should be able to do it. Greg

I love the programmer. I have been an avid GM guy in the past and I have always used the programmers in those with great success. I prefer the ease of installation how user friendly they are. As for my cobra, I definately noticed the gains as soon as I drove it for about a day or so. I emailed...

I had the same setup till I added the magnaflow mufflers. I wish I had kept the factory mufflers because I noticed a huge amount of lower end torque loss. Guess I need a bit more back pressure. Greg

I pulled apart the motor in my Capri and when I put it back together I had a few parts to install. I put in my E-303 cam and roller lifters since I had them spare. I changed the push-rods and tapped and installed the lifter keeper with no problems. My question is if the stock valve springs will...

Oh sorry, I have worked all weekend and my brain is not firing on all cylinders. yeah, its the single flange equal length headers. I raised the motor up and pushed it over to get the passenger side in place and I also had to pull the starter. But with the header in the space next to the block...

I am sorry, I am not sure what you are asking. They are like every other header with the main plate, primary tubes running into a 3" collector. Here is the info on the header I am trying to install....http://www.hedman.com/pages/hedmanmain.html . The motor is the same as any mid 80's stang and...

Now that the Capri is my daily driver I decided to put in a roller cam setup and put on some headers. The cam went in like it should but the dern headers are a mother. I am having major pains getting the passenger side to line up due to room and I am looking for any fox body or capri guys who...

I am going for a different setup. Personal preference.

I am thinking about trying to trade off my Magnaflow O/R X pipe for someone's (aftermarket) H-pipe catted or not. If anyone is interested, or knows anyone who might be, please post up. I will be glad to install the parts at the shop for whoever wants to do this. Greg

I just put in a loud radio and a sub... no more exhaust noise... :nice:
